Golden threads of light nurture ancient aether,
Woven dreams playing ‘cross bleak Northern shores;
Glowing in blind-black storms of frosted weather...
A snow-owl thro’ halo’s of heaven soars.
Roar of Boreas: swart screams into bitter cold,
Thro’ limbs of death dancing hawthorn, greenest pine;
Aurora’s ribbons flowing: lucent on bold blue...
Spectral hues streaming in waves thro’ space and time.
Polaris: stellar regent pearl, in guiding strong,
Thro’ sleep and years, navigating the knowing soul;
Sov’reign Arcticus chants a celestial song...
Willow’s bear revolves ‘round the crown of the pole.
Three flames: Magi charting the brightest star,
Caspar, Melchior, Balthazzar set on sure path;
Compassing desert, mountain, sea and lands afar...
Wisdom in the quest for the prophecy of true faith.
Gold, frankincense, myrrh: blossoms of Mother’s Earth,
Honour-gifts for the divine birth, new hope springs;
Treasure-balm: the warm spirit of Heaven’s hearth....
Word of Glory revealed: Angel Gabriel sings.
Vibrant echoes thrum deep in a church of stones,
Wicks flicker praise on shadow’d walls: songs lift a veil
Psalms adore in faith, love’s vision inspiring tones...
Welcome brighter bliss to vales of ghostly pale.
The tender prayer of worth is ever burning,
In shrines revered: shines eternal in dim-lit night
Breath of every dawn emerging, each Yule a yearning;
The feast of All-Ages... For the Prince of All-Light.
