My Christmas Wish

Has commercialism demonized the Christmas experience? What is is really all about anyway...

My Christmas Wish

Alone I climbed the mountain height

that reaches to the heavens,

I looked out on this world of strife

and searched to find a guiding light

to lift my heart-define my life

and shine my way this Christmas Night...

To some it comes with the swirling snow

white clouds blurred through a frosted pane,

while others walk the whispering sands

as Sun's last warmth from the beach does fade,

and some as yule burns a crackling blaze

peer lost in thought 'mid the dancing flames,

yet others 'hale of the scent o' pines

mount tree to trim and wreath to hang,

still when the Christmas Spirit comes

each is filled with life-the same.

Tiny invisible breath of life,

reaches our heart and conscious mind,

fills our breast, our soul ignite,

lifting spirits, raise our sights,

find joy, fear less, be blessed inside.

Whence comes this spark of life-this flame?

The Lord above in Heaven's name?

Sublime command- as Nature's claim?

or Science' boast -combust spontain'?

most say beyond mankind it came.

Yet kindness serves the likes of man,

this breath of life passed by his hand,

is shown in Love when caring can,

express true virtue's larger plan.

As if in man was something greater,

as yet unknown denominator,

transcending sorrow, lies or hate for

a realization all still wait on,

reveal in man divine creation,

unveil at last man's higher station,

bring peace to every land and Nation,

And as I stand this mountain height,

and gaze into the heavens,

my heart does rise- ascending flight,

feel in my breast a spark ignite...

such an uplifting beauty out of the deep crush of commercialism that chokes mankind out of its spirituality~
