Christmas

The night is short like a breath
and long like a cry –
a woman who hard is giving birth of 
a day.
A flame, glimmered above water:
one and only,
invisible,
sacred.
Immovable star. 
Nothing born in Spirit
passes away. 
Neither does it repeat. 
The circle is broken – 
after the life, a life is coming.
There’s no death.
O, mother – give a birth!

A God’s voice over the dark:
“He was born...”
