LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS

Barbara L. Kelly

Bedded on barren hillsides of materialism,
cloaked in stupefying dreams,
through twenty centuries
shepherds have slept unseeing,
while above them
the Bethlehem star yet shines.

Whenever a lone shepherd
wakes and sees,
then rises to follow in the way
of that unquenchable light,
then it is Christmas.

Barbara L. Kelly
