CHRISTMAS STAR

The star cowered

In the impenetrable darkness

and attempted to slide

along the shadowy darkness

of lightless star paths.

Everything was filled of clouds,

which seemed to back off from the light.

Way down, at the entrance of the heavenly arch,

The timed Christmas star shone.

It shone in the intricate darkness

of that early winter’s night.

It timidly slided into the garden of stars,

where a multitude of curious stars shone,

which lit the a kies up into a turquoise splendor.

And in all that splendor,

The Christmas star fearfully flickered…

Then it stopped, retreating into the darkness,

as if it wanted

a clear overview of its fate.

Then it shone again, in the full splendor of its magical being…

Illuminated by the aura of God’s merry,

It shines again

Along the heavenly path

In the intricate darkness

Of that early Christmas night.
