a christmas poem

[Celtic Camel]

Christmas Bauble

Looking back at earth from space
​

I see a globe of glistening blue-green
​

Hanging like a bauble on a tree
​

Of black boughs, with the Son
​

As its crowning star of Christmas
​

​

Another step backwards into faith
​

The focus shifts to a wider view
​

To show arms outstretched in love
​

On a cross of pain, to embrace
​

The creation of His heart’s desire
​

​

With tears of awe, I shrink to my knees
​

As beyond the cross I see a glow
​

Of indescribable brightness and purity
​

Coming from the empty tomb, where
​

A stone rolled away to open heaven’s gate.
