A light flickered in the night sky,
Bethlehem winds wrapped their fingers round the couple.
Centuries of waiting had come to a head,
Death finally would be crushed by the one foretold,
Eve’s dream in Mary’s womb,
Fires of passion stirred the angelic host,
God in flesh made manifest in the house of Bread,
Hell turned and tossed,
Iniquity boiled and raged, for
Jesus the Light, the child was to be born tonight.
King! The shepherds gathered round,
Looking with awed attention at the Lamb of God,
Men from the east with their spices and jewelry,
Near his cradle they worshipped,
Opening their treasure chests & hearts
Poised in adoration of the Son,
Quietly musing on Micah’s prophecy,
Regarding the goings forth of the Eternal One
Sweetly he slept, his little heart beating
This was Papa’s plan for the planet
Unrelenting in His pursuit of His people
Vanquishing all of evil with a child
With a son on whose shoulders the governments rested
X marked the spot and Emmanuel tabernacled with men
Young and old visited by Grace and Truth.
Zoe for all
