Analysis of Christmas - Anew

Donka Krsteva

Woman and child-
in cave - oxen,sheep, hay,
angels in chorus, celestial light,
heaven meets earth this Night.

Seekers follow lone star,
Babe - in obscurity born,
Prince of Peace, he is called,
Prohets and shepherds adore,
silently Love transforms,
Christmas anew-  joy to all!
