Easter:

A Christmas Poem

(Christmas Eve 2006)

The Christmas Light
and we, His ornaments,
hanging
from a tree.

The Christmas Gift
so given
for thee.

The DevilÕs kingdom becoming
unglued, his evil wrapping
ripped to shreds
to the sounds of Angles
and childrenÕs hymns.

The Throne of David
through MaryÕs womb—
See, The Branch!—
bursting forth
to conquer sin
and vanquish death
upon His holy Limbs!

From shepherdÕs field
The Lamb is born!
Oh, soon
will the templeÕs
curtain—be torn!

Glory to Christ—
our Christmas Tree!
Born of men
and then cut down,
hot blood for thee!

Jesus! Jesus!—
May this Birth
be our new death
for Thee!
