Silent Night
mother and two young daughters
angelic harmony
The prompt at Chevrefeuille’s is Christmas Carol. I have dear memories of singing with my girls at nursing homes and for church specials.

Not So Silent Night (#Oneshotwednesday)
“Save me” said in anguish
“oppression make it cease”
words chanted in the night
alas no days of peace
*
A world mired in deluge
fists full of abhorrent pain
A light sent into the world
groping for the common man
***
A love light was unfurled
delivered through his hands
a desperate call into the skies
to breach the sorrows of man
*
the least tallied as a friend
a child was extolled
he came on that barren night
to save the weeping soul
