A Child, A Child

My Books and Articles

Crisp night air-
            Cold light from a full moon 
             suspended in anticipation.
No breeze-

            Every living thing 
            holds its breath in awe.
One star-

            None other able to outshine the cold, 
            fierce brilliance of the moon.
Amber warmth-

            Stretches a long tail from 
            the golden orb in the Eastern sky.
Shivering-

            But not from cold, pulling my cloak closer,
            humming softly to my flock.
Wondering, watching-

            Three dark crowned shadows on the rise,   
            slowly, determined, Eastward.
Beckoning-

            I too must go.

The star-

            I must follow the star, 
            the baby lamb in my cloak,
            an offering.
The promise-

            We need wait no longer-He has come. 
            A child, a child.
 

 Merry Christmas to all-Peace, Good Will to Men.
