Holy Night

Holy Night:
To The Blessed Beauty

On this night,
God's Nightengale1 nested in the Tree of Life,
His song echoed from paradise,
the walls came down,
and the world gave birth
to a New Heaven and a New Earth.

On this night,
humanity consumed
the leaven of unity
to became a single species,
as God intended us to be.

On this night,
Christ Returned
in the Father's glory,
and reveal the common foundation
of all religions.
