Straw Child

tonight a wiser
man than me
led me to a place
of contracted noise
the wind stood still
and stars froze in sky
nature celebrating
birthing joys

blood and water
baptizing earth
pain mixed with awe
in this labor of love
tonight to this world
the naked truth is born
something we are
so deserving of

suddenly sweetest song
of a once silent night
unconditional love cries
loudly in first breath
born in straw to carve us
a better world
in a true love sacrifice
of a birth and a death

in a darkened morn
a gift of light was born
