Caught Off-Guard
“When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.”
Matthew 2:10
In the darkness
of this season
while busy tending
the sheep
we are once again
caught off-guard
by ancient
angelic messages.
Fear momentarily suspended,
we try on peace and
good will for size.
Long after the seraphs
songs are stilled
and the rest have
returned to their flocks
A few of us still hang our hope on a
single
Star —
“For unto us is born this day,
A Savior,
Who is
Christ the Lord.”
-----
