Coarse, chilly winds lift up unsettled snow,
Implanting flakes like seeds into the pores--
The ground gnaws. The snowflakes glow,
Like fallen stars, upon the wisemens’ course.

Impacience lead our travelers ahead
To seek the truth of a Holy Proclamation.
An in ovation, each bowes down his head;
A child is born, ‘tis time for celebration!

December twenty-fifth-- a sacred date!
It is a date for our descendants to remember!
A tender heart is born with a poet’s fate,
No other date such destiny could render!

A stroke of light upon the snowy canvas,
As though the twilight wrote an epilogue--
The cloak of darkness leaves four fading stanzas,
Picked up by Time, which wanders broke.

master: this is beautiful   i always thoroughly enjoy your poetry...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
