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 moon howls
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 forever be.
And so that Star of Bethlehem
which guided shepherds with their sight
became the promise passed to them;
spread far His Light unveiled that night.
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 their enemy far away.
And there will be joy and jubilation,
when He comes and sets them free.
Love and peace will rule with justice,
For all eternity........
See their dilemma My Son,
there's nothing now that they can do.
Sin has them chained and bound,
now its time that they met you.
I must send you down to them,
there is no other way.
Teach them to love in truth,
show them a new way.
But my son there's something else,
I must have you do.
Take all their sin upon yourself,
and die a death so cruel.
You'll suffer pain like no one else,
to pay their penalty.
It hurts me so to ask you Son,
will you do this for them and me.
After three days with the dead,
you'll be raised and brought back home.
Never again to suffer,
never again to be alone.
Love is what we are My Son.
Love is what we do.
Take our love down to them,
show them our love is true....
Glory to God in the highest
And on earth, peace and goodwill towards men
Emmanuel, The King of all Kings
has been born this day in Bethlehem
Merry Christmas
Even if you see the world upside down
We all have different ways to see the world
Meeting people of all kinds, from different cultures
Have a common focus, and keeping your attention
Fantasy and play are good in many ways
Why not, a snowman up and down
Exploring alternatives, expanding the perspectives
Believe in the best of everybody,
we belong to each other
Being different means you are unique
Do not pass by,
go back and make a brand new start
Just a little smile,
may have the ability to change a human day
Do you see the star far over there?
It is the Bethlehem Star or the Christmas Star
A shining beauty full of secrets
No matter where you are, we can look at it together
You, the snowman and me
One day the snowman will melt,
but the star will always remain

Bethlehem
Means House of Bread
O Little Town of Bethlehem
“2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Micah 5:2 NIV
O Little Town of Bethlehem,
Prophesied from ancient times of old,
As the place where Christ was to be born;
Worshiped with frankincense, myrrh and gold.
The simple birth was unnoticed
By most who lived there.
They didn’t see the bright star in the heavens—
Of this birth were unaware.
If it hadn’t been for the angels,
Who visited the shepherds that night,
And for the wise men who sought Him,
His birth would have lacked sight.
His own hadn’t studied their Scriptures,
So were ignorant at the time,
That in the Little Town of Bethlehem,
Salvation was delivered as human yet divine.
God uses the simplest things
To confound the so-called wise;
Pagans to announce a Savior—
Only God Himself could devise.
O Little Town of Bethlehem,
How important you became;
Not important to men on earth,
But prophesied by God by name.
O Little Town of Bethlehem,
No inn could you provide
For the most important birth
In the whole of this world wide.
Although you were considered insignificant,
You were chosen by heaven
To be the place of Jesus’ birth—
The greatest gift to man God-given.

From my Christmas Edition of Poetry to Touch Your Heart & Soul
[Christmas Edition]
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
Sometimes she felt ill and fatigued
as she feels the child move,
the thoughts of her beautiful baby
she was about to have put her at ease
and the sickness would cease
No room in the lodge, but room in the stable
“She gave birth to her son as angels watched
A lullaby she sang while he slept cradled in a manger
A blazing beacon suspended in the mid night sky
lead the Sheepherders eager to see the Infant child
lying in a manger, in swaddled in cloth
A dream they thought a silvery gleam
A mighty host of angels appeared in the heavens, praising God!
who would become the Messiah, the Son of God
thus one day redeem us
Shouts of joy came alive in the night air
as cherubs gather singing
“Born upon this holy night
Christ the Savior is born”
With gifts three kings
Marveling upon the Star of Bethlehem
A blazing beacon suspended in the mid night sky
Guiding them to the perfect light
12/20/2016
A road often traveled
migrants and the meek
against all odds
serenity, peace
the quiet longing of the villagers
the blessing every family sought
Those who feared his voice
struck at Jesus and his teachings
they may have crucified his body
not the teachings of love
wisdom and esteem
a Palestinian Jew himself
in the heavens he weeps to this day
the Zionists have not stopped
not stopped at all their evil ways
their hardness of heart endures
The son of the universe
of humanity, divine presence
an outstretched hand for all
he has spoken two thousand years before
Kings and Zionists still deaf
this Christmas time of peace and love
I whisper softly
In the voice of Jesus
as white doves circle
above the manger of birth
he whispers compassion, he breathes kindness
and Bethlehem is born again.
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
(12/13/12)
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 helping hand.
He was born in a manger in Bethlehem
When the star first shone then.
It lit up the sky so clear and bright
And stayed that way throughout the night.
The choir of angels began to sing
As they praised the new born king.
The kings had traveled very far
Following this Christmas star.
When they arrived - there he laid
In a manger which was covered with hay.
Joseph and Mary kneeling by his side
As his eyes opened wide.
Acknowledging the three kings
And the gifts they did bring.
Since then we celebrate the birth of Christ
As gifts are given out that night.

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 Bethlehem, may your beauty rise above
any other star within me
Son of Abraham, born of Mary; born of God -
you have come to set your people free
Make my heart your cathedral
A monument to your majesty
Into the darkness of evil
Let your glory shine
Make my heart your empty tomb
Crucify every sin in me
Roll away this stone of gloom
Let your glory shine
Star of Bethlehem, may your beauty rise above
any other star within me
Son of Abraham, born of Mary; born of God -
you have come to set your people free
* Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let
your glory be over all the earth (Psalm 57:11)
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 on the hillside tending their flock
Fell to the ground filled with shock
The sky was filled with Angels giving praise
To the God of Heaven for His marvelous ways
All the sights and sounds were great to behold
The greatest miracle on earth was about to unfold
Still shining brightly, bringing light to the world
Was the Star of Bethlehem, it's splendor unfurled
If I could have been there for the world to see
That Bethlehem Star would have been me
25 December 2018
For the contest sponsored by Kim Rodrigues
I knew what I should’ve done,
What most men would do,
Ride the donkey and insist,
That Mary walk, lower than me.
But I knew right from wrong,
And as she was pregnant,
I considered her right for,
The riders position grand.
As I was walking with her,
I had time to contemplate,
Think about things, the point,
To strengthen my character.
Other citizens who bypassed,
Sneered at us, avoided glancing,
As my woman was above me,
But I just ignored them straight.
People came into my mind,
And I thought of morality;
It’s focus, bent and alley,
And solidified my thinking.
People matter above all,
When the chips are down,
And even when they’re not,
You do what would help them.
Morality’s focus is people,
Not god, temple or government,
To relate, elevate and direct,
Continually interested, insightful.
The physical is the base land,
Everything is derived from it;
You can’t get above it or below,
Around or separate the elements.
So Mary appreciated the ride,
Talked to me on the journey,
Exchanging philosophies, ways,
Becoming comfortable and easy.
By the time we arrived there,
Bethlehem was looking at us,
Asking when we wed and lain,
Expecting us to not repudiate.
But instead we told the truth,
Admitted to being free lovers,
And so they rejected us as sane,
Actively staring, spitting, jeering.
But my new mind from the road,
Enabled me to think quickly,
About our situation, predicament,
And turn the boat around hard.
A boy emerged, stealthy and hearty,
And we both took one look at him,
And knew he would be great,
If only people accepted our sin.
Grateful somehow for the census,
I decided to aim at calling my boy,
Jesus Christ, if the magi agreed,
And validated his talent for others.
They commended him reassuringly,
Said that he was the Christ for sure,
So I ran to the population census,
And changed our name to Christ.
I never regretted it or looked back,
Happy in my reasoning and in giving,
My son and all people a better life,
One of equality in healthcare access.
