Trinet Poetry Contest Entry

Nocturnal Beacons of Christmas Time

by Y. M. Roger


Fireflies flashing
Nocturnal beacons
Lighting the way through arboraceous glen
Scintillating greeting for passing wise men
Following glimmers
Royal journeyers
Travel onward...

 
Village lanterns
Nocturnal beacons
Lighting the way through obscure streets
Assuring wise men’s journey won’t cease
Following pathways
Astronomer Kings
Travel onward...

 
Bethlehem’s star
Nocturnal beacon
Lighting the way to Savior’s location
Wise men welcome King of creation
Following Christ
True Christians
Travel onward

Being thankful for all that's received
