A Blizzard of Azure Light

Herald the star that blooms, the trumpet and the scroll. O God the bluest eye, it magnifies my soul. Encompass calvary, the greatest light that shines. Beautiful Bethlehem, the azure Winter pines. Infant swaddled in love, the lamb in his stable. The Great Shepherd asleep, star’s clearest timetable. The rhythm of the sky, adoration of blue.* Wrapped in azure blanket, star hangs over the Jew. Circumnavigating, ornaments of the earth. O see the living tree, little hands scarred at birth. Predilection to save, open your newborn eyes. The cross present in star, the blue heavens arise. At birth…his death waiting, The Light opens her womb. Before he turns 40, he walks out of the tomb. A blizzard of azure, two men frozen in fear. They’d get a taste of death, fearsome angels they’d hear.
