Too Dark the Night
Too dark the night its blackness slipping in
closing off the light;
shutting out the world
its hustle and bustle busyness.
Too cold the winter its harsh white rapture
blanketing the earth;
enter rest and peace
chilling the soul.
Too long shorter days its short, brief encounters
holding back love and all its memories;
calling children to hope and dream
in promises of happy holidays.
Too busy and enticing, its stressful fight to grasp the prize
amidst the shoppers madness in the malls;
wrappings of Christmas Dreams
to fulfill children's joys.
Too many celebrations rising invitations, finding happiness in gifts
embracing without knowing the first Christmas;
birthing of a promised savior
the wonder and beauty of the son of God,
Too bright the star glow its guiding shepherds and their flock
with traveling wise men fro the east;
revealing the truth of the love of God
His long time promise and hope
consummated.
