    After all, the Earth must wait for spring.


    After all, the Earth must wait for spring.
    No angel ever changed the pace of time.
    Goodness is still tucked away below,
    Empty as a field asleep in snow,
    Like iron in the harshness of that clime
    As God is born in frozen Bethlehem.

    Christmas Poems: "A Visit from St. Nicholas"


     gif
    Attributed to Clement Clark Moore (1822)
    More probably written by Major Henry Livingston, Jr. (1808)


    ’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
    And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,
    Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
    Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
    With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
    “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
    On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
    So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
    With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too.
    And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
    The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
    Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
    He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
    And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
    A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
    And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.
    His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
    And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
    The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
    And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
    He had a broad face and a little round belly,
    That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
    He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
    And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
    And laying his finger aside of his nose,
    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
    “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

    Christmas Presence

    Christmas Presence
    Oriza Martins



    It's almost Christmas ...
    In the loneliness of my room
    I look though the foggy window:
    distant lights,
    distant sound of songs,
    laughter, prayers, fireworks thundering in the wilderness...
    Miserable, I think of those who are absent.
    Cold Christmas. Sad, heartbreaking.
    My gaze is lost in the darkness of the weakness
    I look, but I cannot see anything:
    Nothing ahead. Nothing in future ...
    Why am I alone?

    I look back over the past,
    I recall the glorious days
    Of fame, power, victory ...
    Where are you, fans of yore,
    Loves from green years,
    Friends of all time?
    I failed, you failed, we failed,
    Where did we leave
    Our dreams, our friendship,
    Mistakes and disappointments? Suddenly… Sounds increase,
    Phrases that elevate,
    Laughters that fulfill,
    Euphoria, hope, songs, smell of love ...
    Who came? Who knocks?
    Merry Christmas! I feel you have come,
    You came, no, you were already here,
    I just did not see,
    What a joy!
    You fill my Christmas
    With love, light and heat!
    Eternal friend, friend of all times,
    You were never far, not even would be far now,
    As always, you are here,
    with me, Lord!
    In faith, we are never alone ...
    There is no better company
    To be together with us
    It is His birthday today!

    Thank You, my Lord! - Christian poem by Oriza



    God is Love!
    God blessed our love!!









    Thank You, My Lord (by Oriza Martins)

    I asked God for water so my thirst would quench…
    He gave me rivers, lakes, rain and the sea…

    I asked God for music, so my ears would be wrapped.
    And by the sounds of nature, I heard birds sing.

    I asked God for spectacles so I would feel amused…
    And He showed me the lovely enchant of the sun at the dusk…

    I asked for a mansion so an old dream would come true
    And God embraced me with the arms of a friend.

    I asked God for company, so I would not feel lonely…
    And He gave me friends, pets and family affection.

    I asked God for a remedy to stop my pain…
    And he filled my life with pleasures and love…

    I asked God the return of those who left us alone…
    He showed me that the souls continue among us…

    I therefore have nothing to ask You, my Lord…
    For You make my deepest dreams come true:
    You gave Earth everything that I need!
