Angel of Christmas Love Shining Bright

by Aberjhani — Read all 107 poems by Aberjhani

From The River of Winged Dreams. Video of poem available on YouTube.


Saturday, December 9, 2006


Poem Artwork

Dear Readers,

Please enjoy the following poem. I’m happy to announce it is now available in the book The River of Winged Dreams and also as a video on YouTube. 

 

 

“I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.”
 

                                     --Og Mandino

 
 

I.

Sweet, this elixir

of eternity’s passion

commanding my glide. 

Soft, this explosion

from alpha to omega

sizzling our names raw.

 
Here is the timeless

mystery that pays no heed

to death’s greedy pride.

 

Songs of hearts divine,

mortal, angelic, holy,
billow starlit wings.

 
Here are lips of flame

eager to be extinguished

by love’s liquid sigh.

 

II.

The ancient story

tells itself anew, dressed in

syllables of now.

 
Hope flexes and soars––

through eyes welcoming newborns

to earth’s green legend,

 
through scarred tongues singing

battlefield fare-thee-wells for

comrades gone to peace.

 
Addicted to bliss,

dark heaven floods the soul

bright with miracles.

 
Stars wishing upon

the potential of humans

shine faithfully on.

 

Happy Holidays from Aberjhani

First I send Salutations to Master Aberjhani, and to all that these letters may read.

I wish that millions of blessed eyes read this posting from the Jewels' collection ~ THE BRIDGE OF SILVER WINGS.

"Angel of Christmas Love Shining Bright" pleases the soul, enriches the mind ~ and enchants the heart.

"Here are lips of flame
eager to be extinguished
by love’s liquid sigh."

This closing strophe of the first part is to be recited by Cupid in the Court of Venus ~ accompanied by seraphic music.

"The ancient story
tells itself anew, dressed in
syllables of now."

This opening stanza of the second part, tells me that the author is hosted by Minerva and is always in the company of Erato.

I thank You for the epigraph of Master Og Mandino, the author of THE GREATEST SALE'S MAN OF THE WORLD. (I, AND II) He was the greatest inspiring author of the twentieth century.

Congratulations and good sale's MARKs for THE BRIDGE OF SILVER WINGS.

In gratitude and reverent admiration,


Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Here is the timeless
mystery that pays no heed
to death’s greedy pride.

Wrapped in such holy bliss it is no wonder the writer could pen, 'death, where is your sting?'

Reads like a strand of fine gold being strained enough for my senses to blissfully tiptoe tightrope - thanks.
And a happy Christmas plus a fruitful 2007 to you too!

Here are lips of flame
eager to be extinguished

Addicted to bliss,
dark heaven floods the soul
bright with miracles.

Soulsoothing, thirstquenching, the true Feasting of Christmas is here. Like celestial loaves and fish, this multiplies the more we partake of these life-giving waters and the spirit thus fed goes on to water many with hope and vision. Beautiful work as ever, AberJ, and I particularly like the reinforcement in this, for me, that Heaven can only be true to itself, Heaven is as heaven does and that is to uplift and inspire. True metaphysical wonder wrought in the Mandino quote as well, awareness of and glorying in the whole. Breathtaking, TY K xx

Blessed be the energy of Og Mandino... The Angel of the twentieth century, and the greatest Master of DREAMS!

With my heart's gratitude to Master Aberjhani for this message of the SEASON, and for this poetic banquet scented with the aroma of wisdom titled, "Angel of Christmas Love Shining Bright".

I salute You, Master Aberjhani in reverent admiration.

The last three lines jumped right out at me, Aberjhani. The poem, as a whole, was strictly you, it could be nothing less. You incorporate the old with visions of beyond, and hold fast to your gut notion of peace on earth, and that is why the last three verses shine so . . . You gave us the key to mankind's existence . . . We, of course, we ourselves, you and I and her and him and those people and that group over there and don't forget . . .

Author/Poet Aberjhani ...

Your pen is as an elixir that soothes the soul and sands smooth the edges created by modern living.

Your words flow over the rocks and through the glens in an assuasive manner, allowing the soul and senses to experience a momentary respite from the burdens of surviving in an ever increasingly dark society.

May the true gift of the holidays touch your soul and heart with the dew of eternity's bountiful symphony. Never rest your quill.

In admiration ...
Light and Wisdom ...
