Nativity Night

                                                                    Nativity Night

                                              A stunning star shines bright, a holy light,
                                        To guide lost shepherds` souls on paths unclear,
                                              Lord`s only Son  is born this solemn night.

                                       Shepherds and wise men gaze with pure delight,
                                               An angel's song, dispelling inner fear,
                                           A stunning star shines bright, a holy light.

                                         The darkness swiftly yields to sacred might,
                                          An age-long  promise whispered, ever near,
                                           Lord`s only Son  is born this solemn night.

                                          A blazing beacon beaming pure and white,
                                       A cherished hope renewed, the heart to cheer,
                                           A stunning star shines bright, a holy light.

                                       For lasting peace on earth, with all our might,
                                        Let love, friendship and kindness persevere,
                                           Lord`s only Son is born this solemn night.

                                          Let`s convey gratitude to heaven's height,
                                         And embrace this exquisite moment dear,
                                          A stunning star shines bright, a holy light,
                                          Lord`s only Son is born this solemn night.

Joseph May October 10, 2025 at 12:08 PM Congrats on your win, Very nicely penned

Valsa George October 7, 2025 at 8:29 PM What a lovely Villanelle. This flows sweetly and naturally.... announcing the birth of infant Jesus. I find this form, rather challenging. For the first time I wrote one. Its rules, I found so confusing. When I wrote one, I feel it is not that difficult. All the Best dear friend.
