Nativity Villanelle
The sky is bejewelled tonight my dear,
Heaven has come into our sight.
Her sweet breath whispers in my ear:
“Come close to me, draw near.”
Within her eyes I see the Creator’s might.
The sky is bejewelled tonight my dear.
Upon her pale cheeks the crystal tears
Speak of His pain, her Son: “Heaven’s Light!”
Her sweet breath whispers in my ear.
She watches over the travelers who draw near
And the blessed mother whispers in the night,
“The sky is bejewelled tonight, my dear.”
The angel’s praises ring out loud and clear;
Speak of the babe’s holy plight
As her sweet breath whispers in my ear:
“I yearn to keep Him safe and near.”
Softer now as night fades at the coming of light,
“The sky is bejewelled tonight, my dear,”
Her sweet breath whispers in my ear.
