Christmas bliss reigning

The joy of God's gift offering

Amidst the dark and brackish storm
Replete with tangled measured gloss
Therein the reigning Son of light falls
As men and women slept a story waits
A donkey brays in yonder manger stable
Who will greet the gift of God's living presence?
A virgin waits for the time of birth ripe
A man, a dreamer will lead the way to Bethlehem
How does one know if all will go as planned?
Faith takes its stand as evil lurks to steal away.
I was there prayerful that God could provide hope.
As the wizard kings of the far east consult the stars
Silently a place awaits the coming of this couple and infant cry
The birth pangs of eternity knock on a woman's womb
Yet, no place at the inn confused a betrayal "God no".
God knows well humanities objection to the divine rule
All nature in the cave of a manager stable calls
There is a place of rest amidst a sleepless night
Shepherds listen to the call of the angel, courage has arrived.
