considering those
seasonal messages:
words are presented
formed to tell
a long-ago-story of
divine dissatisfaction
with creation's shadows..
a unique birth ensues
purposing correction and
eventual salvation..
belief in this tale
grounded a religion
which has left many
temporarily filled..yet
searching for more..
others step back
and know anew
the possibility of
experiencing their own
joyful presence
through a reminder
by a story..now
filled with grace...
