Notes About The Poem

Most Beautiful Christmas Poem

Snowing tonight….incandescent, luminescent,
Silvery snow, whispering divine dreams.. 
Air misty, breeze calm, serene! Do I see the 
Brilliant Star, which directed the wise men
To a stable on an evening of starry twilight ...

When the three wise magi spotted the
Brightest star in the east, their surprise,
And their exhilaration knew no bounds!
Our Lord has come to us, the star beckons,
We must follow the glowing light and find our Saviour!

Sights through my window-panes are blurred!
Rooftops getting blanketed with white
Shimmering laces! treetops beautifully
Embellished with silver ornaments,
Grasses caressed by softest drizzle of snow!

This is the night, holy night for the universe
When we welcome our Lord to illuminate
Our life! They found Him in the manger,
Divine baby and Holy Mother they prayed to,
Most precious gifts were showered on Him!

We gaze with wonder at glittering stars above,
On this magnificent Christmas Day, in every
Glistening snowflake I behold Christmas magic - 
An aura of love and compassion for the needy 
Envelop the world with spiritual grace and harmony!
