Most Beautiful Christmas Poem

Most Beautiful Christmas Poem 11/25/22  Based on the Messianic Prophecies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christmas Rose	

The Christmas Rose bursts into bloom
As echoes of midnight’s final chimes resound –
Precious Bloom of Perfect Prophecy inhales a first breath 
Of winnowing starlight foretold
The Prince of Heaven steps into our blemished creation
New lungs fill with aromatic fulfillment
With bursting refrains once heard in Eden.

Torrents of roaring grace
Smash narrow portals of garden betrayal
Eras, ages and eons of sneering dominion
Stumble sideways in vertigo
Temptation’s false victory turned upside down
Smug visages fade into imploding arrogance 

The missing piece of the human heart
Vibrates again in unison of Emmanuel’s Eternal Beatitude
With the tenor of timeless oblations 
Heaven’s trembling preparation of holy delight
Explodes in triumph with the New Genesis
Through the breathless comma of anticipation

Before defeated wraiths of wildness
Gorges shatter, valleys level
Avalanches of obliteration raze
Buttes, crumbling cliffs and ridges of desolation
Midnight’s last stroke of domination
Turns a beastly reign into a flailing whine

Gone the plaintive elegies of exile
Heralds of angels harvest flowers in the desert
Gates into everlasting broad highways open
First Born Mystery in swaddling clothes smiles
In desert blooms of sweet frankincense 
With everlasting scents as joy blooms in Eternal Laughter!

Eden’s new age of Exuberant Truth strides into time
Writing beauty’s signature on mountaintops
Leaving incense where insolent decay 
Abandons ashes of deluded victory
Sweet scented perfume of grace overpowers putrid 
Baby conceived in Anointed Advent, gird in Gloria, arrives!

Wow.....Thus how all mankind is rescued from the dungeons of darkness as gates into everlasting broad high ways open and infant Jesus in swaddling clothes smiles when all plaintive elegies have gone into exile. What sublime thoughts.... What depth of emotion and what powerful diction!! Glad I could read it a second time. This is poetry at its best! Who can ignore this sweet scented perfume emanating from these celestial lines! Absolutely love your golden verse, dear Sam. Wish you the joy and peace of Christmas, dear friend. Into my FAVE.
