white wings
obliterating the darkness.

what? a king you say?
a king
born here?
here?
proclamations and praise?
not just a king?
a King...of kings?
what kind of rumor is this anyway?
not a rumor – no, no rumor at all!
look there!
see there?
a star stands still o'er a stable.
a lone star stands
o're a lowly stable.
music stirs
lifting and lightening
the stifled spirit of sin-slaved man;
borne on the easterly breeze of
a holy morning.
a new song soars
rising on the east wind
borne on the cries
of a newborn babe
born 'neath a lone bright star
standing still o're a lowly stable.
psst
hey.
huh?
i heard
something;
not rumor
not gossip but
harmony and resonance.
now i'm sure.
psst
hey.
what?
i heard music
like the trill of a trumpet.
follow, follow the music where it leads.
follow, follow.
