and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
An ethereal proclamation
a couple thousand years ago...
A statement of fact? A prophecy?
A prayer reverberating though ages?
Yes, yes, yes. A fact that night --
the angels as well as fact glorified God
as did shepherds and the sky itself,
the heavens and all creation.
A prophecy, defining a historic swivel,
a cosmic gyration, a dividing line
with past and future severed.
A prayer and proclamation
of God, to God, for God,
resounding for eternity.
