Untitled (Christmas)
No one knew Him no one saw Him
No one cared no one loved.
His birth His death.
Cold and warm
A deep warmth that travels
to the innerdepths.
A warmth that doesn't leave when
the cold of winter bears down like
a knife. Not the heat of summer that boils.
It does not leave when all else has left
It does not move when all else has moved
It does not die when all else has been taken away.
No He came to seek
He came to save
Listen to the call
He does not beg
He does not plead
He is there, the warmth.
He holds and HE sustains
Joy to the world.
