Holy Night

Holy Night

A Poem by Norma M Sutton

"


















Stars shown down
Sparkling on crisp white snow
Shadows dance across the ground
Silently we go row by row

Strong and tall
Stag stands in low light
Witnessing it all
On a special night

As on a long ago night
A baby's faint wails grow
In soft lamp light
From within shadows we go

For within these humble walls
The miracle of long ago
Re-inacted with these stalls
Among cattle softly lowing

Tiny fingers reaching high
Kicking feet and toes
Black curls bring a sigh
Pink cheeks and nose

Angels sing aloft
From with in children's robes
Touching hearts soft
Within joys grow

Silent Night
We Three Kings
Within our sight
They sing with all their might

Bringing the story of virgin birth
Once again to life
Filling hearts with mirth
Erasing daily strife

I wasn't prepare for a Christmas piece yet but since it is a take on what the Holiday truly means that is okay cause it should be celebrated everyday. I like the bits of humor interjected into this beautiful piece.
