The Holiest Of Nights

Hope, faith and love to all

  

A chilly breeze

Has that magical touch

As it brings the silver bells

To life allowing them to hum

Of peace and love,

On this, the holiest of nights.

To the villagers it sounds

Of an angel’s hymn

As they gather around the tree

In the town square

Joining hands without a second thought.

Every heart circling that decorated evergreen

And within earshot of those silver bells

Felt the warmth in their hearts

Of every man, woman and child.

Silently in unison they all prayed

They could feel this way everyday,

And not just this, the holiest of nights.

As the night faded and everyone

Nestled in their beds they all knew

Deep within their souls

That chilly breeze was God’s gift to them

On this, the holiest of nights.

A beautiful tribute to the absolute magic of Christmas. It is the Holiest of nights and all I adore about it is written here. The entire world (almost) is at one on this night of nights and that has to stand for something. Even those who are laden down with burdens unbelievable will pause at the beauty of the child, it is respectful...I too wish the feeling of unity could transcend to every night...maybe one day?
Beautiful work Dale :-)
