Cradle

Cradle ~

There is a cradle in the snow,
that rocks itself, divinely gentle,
nourishment for its babe,
who rests within the folds of,
unexpected stories, told,
only in the days of old,
when Jesus walked in yards of light,
which fell in glistening sashes.

The baby rocks, in loving bows,
and lifts a hand upon its chest,
while stories of love pour without,
whispering the songs of love,
begging the ears, sweet and tender,
to understand man's mistake,
to forgive those who'd made it suffer,
and the oldest song-
that which is the most complicated for all of us to understand,
is taken to the heart and mind,
of this little babe,
who floats away from this difficult life,
soft and tranquil . . .
