The Holiest Of Nights

Hope, faith and love to all

  

A chilly breeze

Has that magical touch

As it brings the silver bells

To life allowing them to hum

Of peace and love,

On this, the holiest of nights.

To the villagers it sounds

Of an angel’s hymn

As they gather around the tree

In the town square

Joining hands without a second thought.

Every heart circling that decorated evergreen

And within earshot of those silver bells

Felt the warmth in their hearts

Of every man, woman and child.

Silently in unison they all prayed

They could feel this way everyday,

And not just this, the holiest of nights.

As the night faded and everyone

Nestled in their beds they all knew

Deep within their souls

That chilly breeze was God’s gift to them

On this, the holiest of nights.

On the holiest of nights there is such a special feeling that touches the hearts of those who believe! You have spoken of these moments with such simplistic elegance and love! Your words are like snowflakes dropping from Heaven to remind us of the most important gift of all time! Your reference to a chilly breeze that touches us is just wonderful!
Lovely, just lovely!!

Very serene and lovely. You have vividly portrayed the peace, joy, brotherly love, and sense of community, that many small towns share, especially on Christmas Eve. No doubt the chilly breeze is offset by the warmth of their hearts. If only all mankind would reach out and touch letting love flow from one to another this world would not seem so cold. Nice write!

Nicely written, Dale. Could imagine being there in small town life on Christmas Eve at the old town square. Peaceful and serene....excuse me while I make a hot cup of cocoa. Wink.

I love this! Great job making me feel all Christmasy and Merry. I think it should be a weekly thing this ringing of the tree and holding hands...perhaps then we would all feel more connected and do more kind things for others and the earth...Thanks Dale
