Clearly cut starlight jewels twinkle star of stars 
whispering seas turning tides move under waves

From within the sand their remains footprints 
unfolding electromagnetically radiation beams

You are filtered through darkness love
emitting the most beautiful of light

Warm holding forever priceless clarity 
silver lining every cradle under the...

Early autumn on the rise against the night sky
two silhouette, black against the clouds of stars
one sits riding sideways upon an ass 
while another walk beside holding the lead 
along the road tired, dirty, and worn

A bright announcing beacon

Of that divinely vivid moment

Casting out it’s cleansing light

For all to see and partake of

Calling the Magi to the manger

Purity of deference for the Messiah

Illuming human shadows with belief

Granting all the peoples a choice

And the gift of chance for…eternity...

Underneath the moonless sky, the Christmas
Star caught my eye.
Every year it comes into plain sight
At the stroke of midnight.

To remind us of the birth of his son
The one and only one.
He was sent to earth to take away the sins of man
For humanity needed a...

PROUD STAR OF BETHLEHEM

The Christ Child was born in a stable bare
Among all the animals gathered there
The donkey, the cow, the dove, the sheep
Watched in silence as He lay asleep

But up in the Heavens, a star shone bright
And to the earth it gave great light
Shepherds...

Make my heart your manger, Lord
Emmanuel now dwells with man
Lowly stable, holy child
   Let your glory shine*

Make my heart your temple, Lord
From your throne you came to earth
Light that drives away the dark
   Let your glory shine

   Star of...

Early autumn on the rise against the night sky
two silhouettes, black against the clouds of stars
one sit riding sideways upon an ass
while another walk beside holding the lead
along the road tired, dirty, and worn

Sometimes she felt ill and fatigued
as she feels the child move,
the thoughts...

I woke last night and read my Poe
and asked is all that we see or seem
but a dream within a dream of a dream?
I know what I don’t know what I know.

In Bethlehem’s cradle, a Child lay still
love's eternal flame, born to fulfill.
Mary, enraptured gazed...

It is no small feat to attempt to speak 
of the dying of our Lord
who sacrificed Himself for us 
by a fate far worse than fire or by sword.  
For one as whom not qualified 
to write of this great deed,
the Son of God...

The Star which led the shepherds to
that miracle so long ago
is what they saw at last to view-
this light of lights unveils its glow.

For there, our Savior Christ was born
to gift that beam which sets us free
to live with grace- awake each morn;
within that light...

Merry Christmas
>
Dangling on the thread of time,
suspended with little hope.
Dancing to the same old tune,
trying hard to cope.
Strings pulled, buttons pushed,
controlling all they do.
Aware, but can't get free,
slaves through and through.
Clinging to Isaiah's word,
that there will come a day.
When God will send a deliverer,
to sweep...
