The Secret of Christmas

Who could not wish for Christmas?
For I have been witness with my own eyes
I have felt the humanity and joy raining from the skies
I have traveled back in time, long ago
Into a Maronite church
Listening to the language of Jesus
As the choir sings
Children romp and play
I see man with arms outstretched in humble prayer
Time travel is possible, back to the future of peace

I hear many voices proclaim all that Christmas is NOT
They are all wrong
When you focus on the nots
You see not what is
What is, is love
However expressed
However given
Heavenly peace is felt in the soul
Every single human should feel this joy
Even with a humble messenger of love
Listen first the message

The message you say?
The savior is in us all
Listen to the beating of your own heart
Follow any path you choose
As long as you see the light
The universe will shine bright
The beauty inside of you
Should you open it to the world
Is gods gift
To one and all

Merry Christmas

CayCay Jennings Date: 1/1/2016 5:37:00 PM Beautiful. The last stanza is basically my entire philosophy and really struck home. So glad I did make it here (your note on my Z poem prompted me, rather it prompted my memory!).

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/26/2015 9:46:00 AM I really enjoyed this piece, sadly though I fear The Savior is not in all of us for many choose to fortify their hearts against him for they think they will give up their freedom all the while not being aware that they are prisoners to their own appetites. And they wonder why they are never satiated. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 12/26/2015 1:31:00 PM Thanks Richard, I did a blog with the same title! Yes I have discarded the dark cape for 1 day, I will be very uplifting! :)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/25/2015 3:56:00 PM love "however expressed" "however given" focusing not on the NOTs. I love that!!! Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 12/25/2015 6:20:00 PM Thank you Andrea, I have some notes, was trying to decide whether to add them here or make a small blog.
