At Your Arrival

No eyes could see dominions of rainbows filling the skies.
Stars flew, floated, and fluttered around in numb-filled surprise.
Did anyone see the skies blossom and a child appear?
He rested between Joseph and Mary with charm and cheer.

On rough racks, they dwelt, as there was no place in human hearts.
Cows, bulls, and sheep stood as though forgetting their breathing arts.
Mystic music concerts were heard like thunder and earthquakes.
The Almighty's graces seemed to surround them like ice flakes.

Those who were sleeping dreamed about the birth of a saviour.
They missed God's favour like a beggar missing a treasure.
Though they felt a thud, did they not feel the need to wake up
Each smiling face of the shepherds bloomed like a buttercup

Cows mooed and goats bleated the Gloria of the angels.
Your manger, O Jesus, mutely murmured many fables.
