Mary was pregnant
with God, a story
can't be stronger
and I think of myself
as the saint or the prophet
I would like to be, so fulfilled
of pure inspiration, I am
in this silent, holy night
of the birth star
Let angels descend
to praise God
and sing peace
I am awake
under the palm tree
which bends its branches
and gives everything: fruit
and a source welling up
between its roots
