when will the clouds fold back, releasing the daybreak
for the separation of the blues
stratosphere and seas and waters grounded
smells of heaven myrrh
heaven scent frankincense hues

Tierra aromática


Cuando las nubes se doblan hacia atrás, liberando el amanecer
para la separación del blues
estratosfera y mares y aguas a tierra
olores del cielo mirra
aroma del cielo incienso
Tierra aromática

Christmas Child 2

Christmas is all about love sent with a child from the heavens above
A child who was born as a carpenter’s son who came to bless every one
He wasn’t born wealthy or lived in a castle or on a mountain high
But he was praised and honored from all the angels in the sky.
Because of his birth three kings followed a star and traveled from afar
When they arrived to where the star shone that is where this child was born
In a manger with cattle and sheep sitting on the hay, as they all knelt to pray.
They came with gifts to honor a king with gold, frankincense
And myrrh they did bring.
There is not diamonds, gold, silver, pearls or riches of any kind
That could compare to what he has left behind.
It is the power of love and the love that he shared with every one 
And as they say: his will be done.
You hear of him in religious books, storybooks. And word of mouth
And how his words came about.
There is no story greater than his birth and life, not Sampson and Delilah
Hercules, Joan of arc, Moses, or Noah and his arc, and so many 
Others on which I won’t embark.
One man who created a new religion called Christianity
And if you take the first part of that word, it is CHRIST.
Then you also have Christmas so don’t take CHRIST out of Christmas.
What more can I say! I believe and love him in every way.

Premium Member Celebrate His Birth

A special star traveled across the sky,
as three wise men followed it from the east.
And its pathway led them to Bethlehem,
to a stable, housing, both man and beast.

In a manger, they beheld the Christ Child,
and told Mary and Joseph who they were.
They paid the babe homage, offering gifts
of fine gold, fragrant frankincense, and myrrh.

Unlike any child they had ever seen,
this one was the King they had come to see.
And shepherds left their flocks to go to Him,
for the Son Of God filled their hearts with glee.

We celebrate His birth on Christmas day,
for Christ was born, to take our sins away.

Christmas Kings

Christmas is upon us and friends and family are near
Helping to share the joys each and every year.
This is the time that children look forward to
Where they get Christmas presents and spend time with you
Sharing moments and memories that have gone by
As they look at their parents as tears form in their eyes.
Christmas is not just for gift giving, but a celebration of life
Of when CHRIST was born and made the ultimate sacrifice.
The gift giving started with the Three Kings 
And with The gifts that they would bring.
The gold was to honor a king; the frankincense was for the gods
And the myrrh was used to anoint the dead, never realizing
The path that he would thread.
They was foretold of his birth, and he would be the king of kings
And of the love that he would bring.
I honor them on this special day for they were
The first to give thanks and praise.

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

I Got Lost

I got lost
On a country road
I met a friend
In a field she sowed.

I saw a smile
So innocent and real
I discovered a life
So quite and zeal.

I felt the wind
Kiss my cheek
I learned a way
That others speak.

I saw simplicity
Show a beautiful life
I heard the hum
From a busy wife.

I took a deep breath 
Of country air
I watched her work
With a dedicated flair.

I am a world
Apart from her
I value her friendship
Like frankincense and myrrh.

I took a moment
To really see
My brothers and sisters
Are just like me.

I got lost
On a country road
I found myself
In a whole new world.

Premium Member Witness of Christmas

WITNESS OF CHRISTMAS

A long road, a long ride for pondering.
A burst of occasional hee-hawing.
Bumping along, did they sing, did they talk,
this man who dreams dreams, with Mary he walks.

Did the star follow them to Bethlehem,
encircling with golden diadem
the unborn Son of God, who turns with joy
within the virgin’s womb, this tiny boy.

A cold Winter’s opus breathes Mary’s psalm.
Her intended spouse smiles, uplifting palms.
Celestial beings keep watch of night,
alert to the impending birth of light.

Most moms would cringe to lay their babe in hay,
but the Holy Spirit gives His okay,
and this mother, of great faith, swaddles Him
as the stable animals wing a hymn.

Perhaps some alone time with their savior,
before the trail of wise men, create stir,
with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh
and the meek shepherds arrive with their herd.

Angels all around — history’s witness,
taking turns “Hallelujah”ing a kiss.
Her holy infant son, warm in her arms,
Mary’s unique hold to all heaven’s charms.

Christmas Time

It’s such a magical time of the year
When winter brings the snow
And Sheppard’s watched a star at night
Two thousand years ago


They travelled more than three days
And came across a stable
There inside wrapped in swaddling clothes
A babe with Mary rocking the cradle


They knew a King would be born
And asked Joseph for his name
When they realized who this was
They prayed and gave God thanks


On this day Jesus Christ was born
The Saviour of the world
The wise men laid down their gifts
Frankincense, myrrh and gold


They kneeled beside the cradle
Thanking God for the good news
And blessed Mary the Mother
The Lord and Joseph too


Now Gods will, on earth will be done
By His only Christ the Son
Bringing redemption to the world
Who speaks the truth and listens well


And His Kingdom shall rule everyone 
And every knee shall bow
For he shall be the risen Lord
The whole earth shall know and tell

Inside her vessel Jesus 
She's the sent she's the aroma of a royal Queen Evervescent

Premium Member December Rain

December rain once in a while falls
In a heart so warm longing to throw snowballs
Job asks "Have you considered the wonder of the snow?"
Each snow flake is as different as the people you know
Stories of folklore and rapture's pretense
Conjure up scenery inside our heads
Tears of joy cascade down a dreamer's face, and
Sparkle by the light of the fireplace
Through the window outside look to the sky
Gaze at the wonder of God's Christmas night
The sky is adorned with stars, and for what it is worth
The smell of frankincense and myrrh wafts in the Earth 
The wind waltzes dreams 'round in the air
The moon shines, a beacon on the flight of a prayer
All y'all find solace back home from a wayworn trip
Find no wrapping, ribbons or a bow on a gift
The Gift of all gifts as only God could give
