the Bethlehem light

was not a star at all

rather a portal burst

open from heaven

pouring down glories–

love overflowing.

The kingdom above could not

contain its joy any longer.

The night sky split open

as the Word became flesh.

Enraptured shepherds and

wise men gazed with unveiled eyes.

Imagine: Unto us a son

is given? Wonderful. Counselor.

The Mighty God. Prince of Peace.

And angels stood above

frozen as heaven overshadowed

earth’s curse with hope.

In the outpouring of that

magnificent illumination,

they all marveled,

“What kind of

love has been given?”
