The Eve of the Nativity

For He has visited His people, He has come to their rescue.
And He has raised up for us a power for salvation.
Every winter solstice salvation comes on cue.
Freeing us from doubt’s questioning temptation.

In my dream I saw a horrible structure built in the valley.
I wanted this to be a dream so that this ugliness would be a mirage.
Now the little stream was a mighty river, the dream was merely a sally.
Thankfully a fantasy at large.

Fear is but a dream.
Doubt but a chimera.
It really is as it might seem.
This is real, fantasy is for the cinema.

The truth is not some ancient legend.
It is coming now, on hand is God’s errand.
