'Tis the season
for holiday cheer
for some it's
an innate
time of dread
some glow
from head to toe
count down
to that momentous day
when the path
of kings
and gods
alike
collided
a Child born
a story told
carrying more
than just a few
die hard
Old Testament
New Testament
King James
elegant English
word stirring
emotion
provoking version
bible toting
faithful
from the depths
of Mother Earth
places unknown
but alas capturing
the hearts
and imaginations
generation after generation
war after war
century after century
oppression
regression
suppression
domination
subjugation
supremacy
ascendancy
blood shed...
countless numbers
cherish and pray
to whom they
have tenderly named
God Jehovah Yahweh
as their anointed
and holy one ~
...yet the battle
still rages on and on
who are those
chosen few
that will eventually
rise above
the rest
with wings of gold
and harps strum
by feathered wings
of baby angels
we maintain our right
to walk the path
of the glorious
with the burden of
a self proclaimed
hierarchy
...attempting
to listen
comprehend
without
a judgmental
mindset weapon
held tightly
in hand
I continue
to wonder
in amazement
how one
maintains
sustains
faith unquestionably...
Holiday festive gatherings with family and friends Christmas tree and candle light twinkle red blue yellow the smell of evergreen and spice such a magical sight snow flakes if we are fortunate will fall from the sky setting the tone blanketing the world in white symbolic of peace and hope as we wait for the events once again to occur on this the most holy of nights...
