Premium Member The Fifth Season

Welcome to my mountain abode, you can have coffee and snacks while watching the show
The scenes change each night, a new manger here and there built by the Congregation below
In the Nativity Scene, down at the church I am the Wiseman with Frankincense as my Gift 
The town Christmas tree, at the center of town square, almost hidden by the giant snowdrift
As the Tree is lit, and Carols sung , I light  my donation to the town: The Christmas Star
Every year the town folk would say the Peidmont “ Christmas Star “ can be seen near and far
The community all together  Sharing the Love and Grace of the fifth season : Christmas

Premium Member A Star Shone Bright

A star shone bright in Eastern sky
   two thousand years ago
as angels sang their hymns on high
   to let the whole world know.
They sang their praise, their greeting bring
as bells in heaven start to ring
      They sang their praise…
         They sang their praise
to Jesus Christ the Savior King.

A star shone bright in Eastern sky
   while shepherds in the fields
watched o’er their flock with mindful eye
   as good news was revealed.
They heard the hymns the angels sang
down on their knees the shepherds sprang
      They heard the hymns…
         they heard the hymns
as bells in heaven softly rang.

A star shone bright in Eastern sky,
   gave signal to the world
that Christ child lie in crib nearby;
   the future was unfurled.
He came to earth amid the din
and mankind’s journey did begin
      He came to earth…
         He came to earth
to save us from our deadly sin.

Ivanhoe and Robin Hood two witnesses

Wall clock,  
Cinderella got out,  
Big Ben's pale attraction,  
King Saul highest in York and London,  
On dial, his twelve hands juggle,  
Hypnosis,  
Vineyard blood,  
My arrows,  
Strings of psalms,  
Split arrowheads of dwarfs,  
Big Ben's dogs,  
Pursue Lady Rowena of Ivanhoe,  
Titanic is broken,  
Icebreaker from orca,  
Sign of Jonah,  
Canker on the tower,  
Dark hole,  
Toxic stepmother,  
Fake freedom,  
Make gunsight on Sarah (of Tobias) for the gnomes,  
But my gold apple of the eye above and over,  
Olive oil and Jonathan's honey,  
Far like close against who shoots on,  
Flame on the town,  
Sky fall,  
Christmas star only,  
Michael knight helps these young women,  
Against the red dragon,  
To stay in Love,  
"Who Is like the Lord?!"  
Angel's name in the hand of Mother of God,  
This boy, precursor  
For Lamb and Lion,  
Not a Teuton,  
Robin Hood in New York and Chicago,  
Monte Cristo at Lyon,  
The voice in Moscow,  
Wilderness of snow,
Service like an arrow of the Word,  
David's stone going like a forerunner before,  
When David arrives, He will return with the sword,  
And with Cinderella's crystal shoe and Life crown,  
For crows and doves, between children of Noah,  
Town of the world,  
Square of fake Concord,  
The Pharaoh's obelisk by Napoleon,  
Shady hand on dial clock from the catacombs of lodge,  
This Jezebel collusion against the vineyard of Naboth and brother Joseph,  
Like a nuclear-armed rocket,  
Time stolen,  
When Big Ben is loose, fall,  
Against only Noah's bow,  
With the arrow from the natural rainforest,  
Fire of Mowgli,  
Good outlaw among wolves,  
Confessor on the cross,  
Star from the Orient,  
Say to the leaders of nations:
"Don't return to fox Herod", 
And to Shere Khan Herod: "Don't be with Herodias, dame Terror",  
Writing to the seven angels of the churches
By Revelation of John,  
Cultures from Noah on Light give all colors,  
Worthy and noble communion to Blood and Body,
One who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one,
In sackcloth therefore Elijah and Enoch.

Child From the Christmas Star

An eight-pointed star 
Shone in the night in summer 
He came from above 
Not belonging to the stars 
Stranger to them all 
Is above the zodiac 
Plundering its fate 
He is from the pure greatness 
A door to the heavens 
Sophia prepared the flesh 
For she had regret 
Sabaoth sent his great light 
For he was wrathful 
Barbelo sent her power 
For she had wisdom 
Jesus the man sent himself  
For he had mercy 
He was laid in a manger 
No room in the inn 
The world hated him so much  
For it was darkness 
And he blinded it with light 
News reached the dead king  
His hair was a lion’s mare  
His body a snake 
His eyes were bright lightning bolts 
Ruler of darkness 
His mother rejected him 
As a bad disgrace 
He summoned all the magi 
The wise foreigners  
Followers of the fire 
To find this small child 
As the Magi were dispatched 
He thought to himself 
“What is the power of him 
Who was born this night 
Who is higher than we are? 
A drop from heaven? 
Whom dragons brought to a cave? 
Where a child was born?” 
Those magi sailed the bright sand 
Ignoring the cold 
The star became a lighthouse 
Which led to the child 
And to shepherds in pure white 
They gave three blessed gifts 
Gold and frankincense and myrrh 
As the king waited 
In silence and solitude 
He realized something 
Filled with jealousy and wrath 
He ordered his slaves 
“Extinguish this divine light 
Do what is needed!” 
An angel from the great star 
Told the glad Joseph 
“Flee to the land of Egypt 
With your wife and son 
To escape the flood of death 
To escape the plague 
The hot fire and sulphur 
That killed the mature 
And now will murder the young” 
And so the parents 
Carrying the eternal 
Fled to the bare land  
All the little were murdered 
Rivers of blood flowed 
Loud cries of pain and mourning 
Flowed out their mouths 
With the king in vain glory 
Saying “I am God 
There is no other but me!” 
The sands of time fell 
And so, Mary and Joseph 
Returned with Jesus 
The baby pronounced three words 
Whom none can utter 
Lest they be killed by cold stones 
With knowledge we say 
“Out of a pure foreign air 
The light bringer came 
Those ones he chose for himself 
He turned them to stars 
To shine in the pleroma 
The kingdom of light 
Which the only door to it  
Being the eight-pointed star.”

Premium Member The Christmas Star

There arose a star in the east
A star brighter than the brightest
On Christmas morning the star stood
Over a lonely manger in Bethlehem

It is the star of David 
 with healings in His wings
 Born on Christmas day
So it came to pass 
 as has been foretold
By the Prophets of old

But only the men from the east saw 
The extra ordinary bright star 
Acknowledging the birth of Jesus 
On Christmas day.
 
The Christmas star became 
the bright and morning star
It's shine taking down 
 every darkness
 piercing every heart
on the cross of calvary

That bright and morning star
Was born on Christmas day.

(Merry Christmas to you all my friends on Poetry Soup)

Premium Member Gone With the Pie

They plotted long, that winter’s night
                   Beneath the Christmas star so bright
Three tiny mice in elf like suits
                       Could smell the pie of many fruits

And as it baked, their hunger grew
                                So they decided what to do
They knew that cook would, as a rule
                            Set pies on window sill to cool

They would appear as Christmas elves
                      Instead of their most scary selves
And then the cook, they would acquaint,
           Remove their clothes and she would faint

Just then, with super mouse like strength
               They’d slide that pie the needed length
Into their cubby hole nearby
                Like that!, they’d be gone with the pie

Premium Member I Dreamed Christmas In the Skies

I dreamed Christmas in the skies,
puffy clouds with images of good tidings.
Better than plum pudding surprise,
the nativity - God with us abiding.

Perhaps this was the Christmas star,
a close-up, magnification, of its sight.
Wise men on bumpy camels from afar.
Shepherds heralded by angelic light.

The key, to life and death, in a manger.
Surely his eyes’ bright and smile’s sweet.
His nemesis, the devil, friends with danger.
This Babe will divide the tares from the wheat.

I dreamed Christmas in the snowy clouds.
The gift of heaven to a child filled with wonder.
I rode on a fantastical sleigh and sighed aloud,
awestruck as the star Jesus sleeps under.

Become the Child He Was...

This coming Christmas put away prejudice and pride
and become the child He was...coming to earth and die:
the Messenger of God to touch the humblest hearts
when joy didn't exist and love couldn't be found in anyone;
look up to the coldest and starriest sky...
thousands of angels in their glory shine!
Look deep inside and put kindness first and realize:
that this is a season to give without measure, just smile!



Child, heavenly Child, open those kind arms
and welcome everyone who gladly comes
to worship you with that very special gift;
Child, heavenly Child, how can we be changed in heart,
and suddenly become like you are:
being that closest friend, not an uncaring stranger! 
  



Kings and Presidents will bow down like us,
and glorify you for coming down in the form of man...
to forgive and understand us, to teach us love and elate us;
long ago hope was lost, and that long-awaited Redeemer
never came...now, you have come to bring your peace and salvation,
and the Christmas' star has set on the world in wonder!
Let's stare at it with gladness...to find the purpose in your birth,
and spread the joyful tidings to those without worth!



Child, heavenly Child, call all to your manger
and stand side by side by the singing angels
and let them see that we can become the child you are,
without a crown, riches, vanity and privileges! 
Child, heavenly Child, you only ask us to say the kindest word:
to forgive and be forgiven and to love and be loved in return!

Christmas Stars

We all are a Christmas star in our own way
There are some that are there for others always
There are some that can make you laugh in an instance
There are some that are your heros
There are some that are your pains
There are some that hold you close with out any words
There are some that take your breath away everyday
There are some that are  young but make you smile so
There are some that love you with no strings attached
There are some that are your guardian angel
There are some of the most beautiful memories
There are some that have that heart of gold
There so many out there that have your heart
Don't ever let your Christmas star burn out
Because we all are Christmas stars for so many
Merry Christmas to all of you my Christmas stars.

The Christmas Star

Winter time is over the mountains
come yuletide season again.
Caught now in time, these frozen fountains
that drop to waterfalls end.

The skies have seen the last of the geese,
they’ve flown to warmth miles away.
And trees are all but stripped of their leaves
as they sleep these winter days.

Christmas Time comes to us once again
and it’s just moments away.
Reminders of God’s goodness to men
is about us every day.

Hope kindles new in the hearts of those
who”follow the Star” this season.
They’ll know freedom from a life of woes
and Jesus is their reason.

So at this special time of year
be sure there’s room at the inn.
Unto you the Christmas Star draws near
and will ALWAYS lead to Him.
