BETHLEHEM

Winter’s drizzle drenching padded coats
Santa’s Noel rents the air
Jingling echoes on every street
Flashing radiance in symphonic assonance
Three wise elves on my doorstep
Bearing laden rucksacks on aching shoulder
As they follow the great eastern star
Through snowy highways and bumpy corners
That lead straight to Bethlehem’s manger.
