“No room,” he says,
“No room for you,
here at this, my inn.”
Joseph sighs and Mary cries
On not-so-silent night.
The pains, they come
Crashing like waves
As God in flesh
Arrives
On not-so-silent night.
At long last
A place is found
Among the animals
And the hay
On not-so-silent-night.
Joseph holds her hand
As Mary strains to push
With one last gasp
Jesus – yes, Emmanuel
On not-so-silent night.
God in flesh,
The Word who spoke
The universe
Reduced to wordless howl
On not-so-silent night.
Angels announce
And sing their song
To shepherds in the field
Whose sheep join in the chorus
On not-so-silent night.
They hurry off to see this thing
Rushed on by Spirit’s push
Come upon the humble barn
Housing tired trio
On not-so-silent night.
With unmatched awe
And rapt attention
They kneel around the manger throne
No offering to give the King
On not-so-silent night.
The Lord of Lords
Graced the earth
With Himself –
A mystery
On not-so-silent night.
That Marie is beautiful, God’s Continued Blessings and Mary Christmas
