Silent Night, Holy Night
Silent night,
interrupted by the bleat of the sheep,
the heavy breathing of a shepherd,
the howl of a wolf
in the distance.
Holy night,
ministered to by men unlearned,
the scourge of those
whose hypocrisy lifts them
above the herd.
Silent night,
when darkness gives way to light,
and those who have never unrolled
a sacred scroll,
listen.
Holy night,
illuminated by the word,
blest by a promise fulfilled,
announced to those
who tend sheep.
