Diminutive glance like a fleeting finch <br />Moment where love surpasses knowledge <br />No touch just the scent of lemon flowers <br />Opaque emotion of simple connection <br />Transparent perception <br /> <br />We carry seeds <br />We bring hope deep like spring <br />Like bustling bees building their nest <br />Free me from great swelling words <br />No swords of proposition <br />Narrow passages with rites to the lonely <br />Ceremony of loves new morning <br /> <br />Hear the waves deep under the surface <br />Meet the eyes of the rich homeless <br />Gracious kindness shines <br />Expand my family to the by ways <br />All the broken sing 'Silent Night' <br />Every stranger was born in Bethlehem<br /><br />Joseph Narusiewicz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bethlehem-6/
