I do know now how 

void ebony sky…felt

that First Christmas

so many years …ago

 when suddenly there 

appeared Star’s melt

with a virulent shine

and wondrous glow..

ere…out of the dark! 

It was in the midst

of a…blue midnight

when Ja responded

in mark surprise to

a dire hope I’d been

so long languishing

at last it came true

arriving so bright...

ere..out of the dark! 

I see a correlation…

the way God in past

duly, pitying …hurls

of His earth’s pining

birthed us Messiah..

Light…Of the World

Thus, with faith ark

He will hear prayer

ere…out of the dark!
