Love Summered In Winter

On a chilly night
while humanity snored,
       love stormed
       the world without a whisper.

With soft trumpet sound
Heaven chimed a melody,
       pricking psychic ears.
       Three men in the fields nudged

their flock, floated East
led by a winking star…
	to a shack of manger.
	Joy poured from their hearts,

gifts from their bags; heads Salaamed.
The thrilled night stilled
       as the shepherds sailed back
       under smiling stars, 

rhyming with Heaven’s
tuneful song of the Lord:
       Unto us a child is born;
       Unto us a son is given...

It was on a chilly night
while humanity wintered
        Love summered in a manger,
	flooding the world with light.
