Christmas Starlight

It's Christmas eve, And I'm alone... In a place I feel, Is not my home I feel neglected, I feel quite sad, Christmas was once, The best time I had... It grew dark, I felt a need For fresh air, I opened the door, So much wishing, I had someone With whom love I might share.. No, I didn't hear Jingle bells, nor A sleigh in the air, And I felt so depressed, I didn't really care, But something led Me to look up, In the sky, And I don't know how, And I don't know why... I gazed at thousands Of lovely stars, Struggling with all their might, To pierce the gloom, Of such a cold winter's night... And, this, I swear, They achieved so gloriously, It shed my gloom, And made me see... This universe... So more impressive Than Santa Claus, And all he may be... My heart was swollen, In majestic wonder, More impressive than, The loudest thunder... I was but a small Piece of this cosmic realm, But as valid and important, As he who steered the helm So the meaning of Christmas Finally came to me, It was not a thing, I would expect it to be... It was an acknowledgement Of our eternal unity... It was far more awesome... Than the deepest sea... I sleep much better now, Cause something came, And showed me how, To accept being a part Of the whole, And live within... The eternal now...
