Christmas star

Bonny Barry Sanders

Shine out quiet star.Wordless guide of shepherdsand wise mento the far-offcherished site.The story retoldby word of mouth,recorded on scrolls,translated by monks,sung by carolers.It unwinds humbly like skeins of new-dyed yarn.Ring out quiet Truth,the very same message,not distanced byearth-count years,but oh, so near—ever here.In real substance grounded,in Life’s compass centered,with Love’s guidance, strong.

–Bonny Barry Sanders
