Noel Tableau
Verse 1
Winter tableau while
Frost lights the still forms,
Lanterns hold soft glow,
Shepherds lean in close
As stars paint the straw,
Silence shapes the night.
Verse 2
Manger tableau rests,
New babe warms the hay,
Oxen stand so still,
Mary folds in light,
Joseph guards their hush,
Angels hold the dawn,

Please consider leaving a comment.
I like the scene of the nativity coming together and the use of light.
ReplyDeleteA tender look at that significant birth. I loved: "silence shapes the night".
