Silent Stars

Silent stars,

Witnesses to the miracle in the manger.

How I wonder what you are.

There remains an unmatched brilliance

In your spark every night you shine surreal,

I have this feeling that’s a testimonial

I sense ancient eyes crawl all over me

Like a million insects, eyes that did see

The coming of the Christ-Child and testified

To wise men from a faraway land summoning

Keepers of sheep who in the field did abide.

Silent stars,

Your message still rings true in the dark.

The ever shining light will guide us,

Like the everlasting father he’ll shield us,

And find us again when we wander lost.
