Hushed Night | an advent poem

Hushed night.
starlight.
such a long day-

 Mary,
 weary
lay on the hay.

One moment,
silence;

the next, a cry.

It hurt her so much
she thought she would die.

Hushed night,
starlight,
broken by sobs

Mary;
weary,
mother’s heart throbs.

One moment,
darkness.

The next a great light.

Baby Messiah
born in the night.

Hushed night.
Starlight.
Broken by joy.

Mary,
cherishing
her baby boy.

Tomorrow, Savior,
today just a child.

She held her son close.

Jesus.

She smiled.


Thank you Caelie Jones for the beautiful snow photo.
Merry Christmas to you all. He has come.
