Northern Lights

Bright Lights


A star shone 
so bright
that night 
when a baby 
was born,
but not just 
any baby 
but a savior.

The heavens 
played a part 
in showing
the poetry in motion 
of a baby's birth 
and the death 
of a solitary man.

A man who was really 
not just a man but God.

So when we see 
the stars 
and the brights lights 
that brighten the sky 
we should always remember 
what happened 
that night so long ago.

So watching The Star of Bethlehem was thought provoking and gave me some aha moments especially where the constellations were concerned.  Obviously no one really knows the exact date when Jesus was born even though we always celebrate his birthday on Christmas day because Jewish people use the lunar calendar as do many Asian nationalities.  Lunar and solar calendars are very different if you are at all familiar with them.
