True Humility




For some, the cold, like the white moon,
Calls for romance and sleepers' dreams

 For some, the long, dark nights hide sorrow
And the shame of loneliness.

So, too, the crying Child chose the cold
And dark of a winter's night to come

 Leaving the celestial timelessness for time,
The company of Love for danger and fear

So, Joseph struggled with Revelation's Plan
and stoked the small fire for Heaven's Queen

Embraced the mystery waiting beyond hope
For the next humiliation, making room for

Angels, shepherds, kings in one space
          Containing all creation and her Bridegroom.........
