The season of Christmas holds a myriad of emotions, and that makes it fertile ground for the poet. Poetry as part of liturgy can help us express those emotions in our worship services, sometimes even better than prose can. Most of the classical poets wrote about Christmas (try googling “Christmas poetry” for a selection). Here are some from contemporary sources.
I am what comes before sand and sandstone
Chickens and eggs.
I am the unproven truth
On which all proofs depend.
My soul sings in gratitude.
I’m dancing in the mystery of God.
The light of the Holy One is within me
and I am blessed, so truly blessed.
