Christmas:
            dawning,
                        opening,
                                    unfolding,
of thought,
of revelation,
of being—

this is Love 
       in action.

This is
the Christ,
       bringing to all
              peace,
                      joy,
                          harmony.
Truth fills all space;
       Life lights the way;
               and God holds Her child.

Drawn close,
       gently cherished,
              lifted and loved, 
                            in heaven abiding,
       securely resting,
              joyfully living,  

here we are,
living with the promise of the Bethlehem babe,
       you and me and all,
              children
       of our Father-Mother
              God.
