Advent Poem Day 18
December 17, 2008 - 3:19pm by Thomas
The shepherds, tucked beneath
Trees sans leaves, sans shelter—
Not one leafe to share for cover—
Look up into skies void of hope.
The young man, walking slowly
Back to his lover, his dearest,
Whom he loves in such duress,
Says that no room can be found.
The young woman, tucked beneath
Blankets with holes, with stains—
Not one fit for royalty or queens—
Looks up into skies for the answer.
The new born, breathing slowly
And searching—pasty arms reaching
For a mother fatigued from pain, reeling—
Cries out the groan of creation.
