Light
of the World
Darkness
covered the Earth,
Darkness
that can be felt,
Deep
darkness
God
said”
“Let
there be light”
And
a baby took His first breath
In
Bethlehem
The
brilliant
Luminescence
Was
breath-taking
The
people walking in darkness
Saw
a great light;
On
those living in the land
Of
the shadow of death
A
light had dawned.
And
God said:
“It
is good.”
Epic
news
Brought
to humble shepherds
In
the night
A
great company of heavenly host
Announced:
Glory
to God in the highest
And
on earth, Peace
To
men on whom his favor rests
The
unfathomable delight that somehow
God
favored men
who
sit on the ground
In
the darkness
And
smell of animals,
Low
birth,
Low
cast,
Low
income,
Yet
this is how Christ came.
Born
then resting in the hay,
The
smell of animals in the air.
Equality
with God
He
did not grasp,
But
born to the lowly,
In
their neighborhood,
Visited
first by the homeless.
The
first Christmas trappings…
A
birth by lantern light
A
bright star in the night
The
radiance from a Baby’s face
Angels
singing
Animals
in awe
Humans
in awe
God
is with us
