FacebookThis Good Night
In the eye of the storm,
In the center of the plight,
Melodies of peace emanate,
And we are enveloped in light.
A joyous note rings out,
From four corners all harken,
Rays of hope brightly permeate,
Voices of stars sound through cold’s bite.
We remember to love,
We open ourselves to change,
Standing strongly, with all reckoned,
With blessings right within our sight.
Holy season is near,
A babe sleeps among the beasts,
We ask him for peace, protection,
To guide us safely this good night.

Hi Annette, thanks for this special poem, leave it to you to offer a poem for each season. Love your poetry, and this one that offers good hope as the Covid season extends its un-welcome, and with your direct allusion to the original reason for this holiday, ‘the babe asleep among the beasts,” who reminds us of a deeper soul peace so needed in today’s times. Thanks again.
