Most Beautiful Christmas Poem

Most Beautiful Christmas Poem 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! 11-25-22 Contest: Most Beautiful Christmas Poem Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose Based on the Old Testament Prophecies of the Messiah
