![]() Christmas Eve SilenceA Poem by Jeannie Stevens![]() Memory of o Christmas past when silence took flight in the night time sky![]()
On the most beautiful of nights as the stars crown the sky
I stand on my porch as silence draws nigh The quiet that comes just on Christmas eve Is hard to explain and hard to believe Each year after all of the gifts have been wrapped I step outside just to take a deep breath The night seems so calm as I stand alone there Not a sound can be heard in the cool winter air Its as if heaven and earth pay homage each year On the eve of that birth that we all hold so dear The heavens draw a breath and the angels stand still The air ceases movement by its own will All creation stops singing as the silence enfolds Its as if the story was about to be told Of the coming of hope on nights' silent wing To the world that needed but one small thing That gift very precious and unlike no other Came quietly that night in the arms of his father Is there any question why the silence still comes Its there to mark the birth of Gods son As I stand on my porch each Christmas eve night I'm reminded of silence that always takes flight For its in that silence that I recall why He came So I stand and I listen for the hope that remains © 2016 Jeannie Stevens |
