Silence

Silent night
Holy night
The world holds her breath
All is so quiet
Darkness envelopes gently all living things
Not a sound
Not a sigh
Stars high above walk their silvery paths
Like crystalline drops of moonlight
Slowly
Deliberately
We are waiting
Patiently
Expectantly
Longingly
Our hearts know
What our eyes shall see
And our souls will touch
The minute seed of light
Born of love
