A Christmas poem... in Growing Gardens for Palestine: Star Street Bethlehem Palestine 2014
A Christmas poem... Star Street Bethlehem Palestine 2014
Half a world away
light flickers...
Stars strung house
to house, home to home
a narrow alley
in an ancient place
and a modern car
gliding... guiding
good thoughts...
Strand after strand
string after string
row by row over head
line by line
electric stars shine
illuminating
a golden glow
a golden path
a golden trance
as we go...
Wordless wonder
here and there
sharing a ride,
a marveling minute
(& twenty three seconds)
of real life and light
in Bethlehem
today... tonight...
think what you want
and I will too
as half a world away
Christmas returns renewed
in open hearts and curious,
creative minds
connecting.
