The Gift
Sweet warmth settles
Heaven's hearth
the holy humbled
to descend on men
of dirty hands
those of us in sullied robes
*Some wise men still hope*
A seedy stable - soiled
cattle chew and croon
under the crisp Bethlehem moon
mooing amid Mary's toil
earthy hymns herald
the birth of this boy
*Good tidings abide with joy*
The scanty shanty sings
a sanctum - scantioned
for tender filled prophecies
gracing our mundane in glorious qualities
*Righteousness gifted to all who believe*
Peace parceled to hearts
swaddled in thanks for our Savior
imparted
An ideal love - The Word turning flesh
in darkness
dawns down
a light for the lost...
Indeed we are blessed!

I'm sensing the holiday spirit has taken ahold you of you for the holidays.
"descend on men
of dirty hands
those of us in sullied robes" - good visual here
"A seedy stable - soiled " gross and funny
"The scanty shanty sings
a sanctum - scantioned
for tender filled prophecies
gracing our mundane in glorious qualities " - i love the play on words in this stanza
you definitely took me to the manager in this piece
i have a warm feeling in my heart
" And what happened, then? Well, in Whoville they say - that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day. And then - the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of *ten* Grinches, plus two"
thank you for this inspiring write AtoMik

Thank you! I struggle to enjoy Christmas through the morass of consumerism and stress each year. I don't feel the pressure *quite* yet (probably after thanksgiving) so I wanted to write something to help process it.
