The Blessed Night Poem by Zyw Zywa

The Blessed Night

Rating: 5.0


Mary was pregnant
with God, a story
can't be stronger
and I think of myself

as the saint or the prophet
I would like to be, so fulfilled
of pure inspiration, I am
in this silent, holy night
of the birth star

Let angels descend
to praise God
and sing peace
I am awake
under the palm tree

which bends its branches
and gives everything: fruit
and a source welling up
between its roots

A most beautiful poetry about the blessed Birth all times, a touching poem about The Blessed Night. I have enjoyed time and again this lovely poem. Thank you so much for sharing your senses in this poem. G.B.U. Still Happy Cosy Christmas days and a Healthy and Blessed 2019. Even Christmasdays have passed, the New Year has broken, I am still celebrating Jesus´Birth. Sounds mad, but I am just a sane and ordinary enjoying poetess.

Zywa, Love this Story and especially the imagery you create in my mind on so many levels in the last two stanzas...under the palm and birthing the fruit between it's roots. Beautfully written. Thank you, Gio
