Bright Light
'Tis the season to follow one light...
Bits of which weave little stories
the spirit of family.
Bits of which hold hope
for Tiny Tim Crachets.
Bits of which guide night travels
of Santa's Cherub-Cheeked believers.
Tis the season to follw one light...
Carolers harmonize,
leaving footprint in winters white gown,
quiet snowflakes melting on lips.
Friends sharing festive spirit
sharade around mistletoe
the flower of excusable kisses.
See men decorate white bond trees
with ink-lined garland
and matchstick lights of red.
Tis the season to follw one light...
Illustrious over a stable in Bethlehem.
Sheep, goats, oxenflock.
Wisemen give gifts, shepards guard,
Angels sing.
Black bull, white bird -
Straw of peace.
'Tis this light, born this night over seasons
Evermore.
