On my way to church 
the spirit of Christmas I met the other night.
All excited it was as the day of Jesus's birth
was coming.

In awe, I approached it and hesitantly
I asked:

" Could you, sacred spirit, tell me what the real
meaning of Christmas is? "

The spirit looked at me, at first, rather surprised for
I appeared as a man of faith
yet
didn't seem to know what was I celebrating,
however, 
with a compassionate smile and a very
calm voice willingly replied:

" The real meaning of Christmas
is the rebirth of love in people's hearts.
A rebirth that aims to reestablish
the relationship among the people themselves first and then
reinforce their connection with the divine, as the Lord 
meant it to be pure and holy! 
In that way
the love and peace of the heavens
would be enshrined in the heart of every man and 
make people love one another, the  fact that would lead 
love to reign upon the earth and bring peace 
to humanity. 
Only then the birth of Jesus would make sense 
and take its real meaning
causing the angels with joy sing -peace on earth and 
Alleluia! "

i love this...and truly it makes perfect sense...one must have the love in their heart to share, to be able to accept the love and receive the true gift... your poems speak as if a guiding hand from above is feeding your muse the words... this is beautiful...a fave for me :) hugs
