Winter Star

Winter star,

   so frozen where you are;

   in some glazed galaxy,

   how far is your lofty eminence?

Shine you will,

   in your celestial world,

   perhaps your rays more ancient

   than Earth's first darkling crib;

Where once none had been.....

No earthly eye to behold thy majesty;

   shearing darkness 'til what final wall?

A walk in the cold, made worthwhile by the sight of the heavenly star that brings back majestic memories. May Christmas retain its allure...may yours be a happy and blessed one. // paul

The guiding star fascinates my eyes with its shining light..and you your words play so beautifully,sending me back in time to that crib awaiting Jesus Christ.
