Gentle In the Blue

A great cascade of blinking lights,
the tree shone like kaleidoscopes.
the glow rose in the fir's green heights
reflecting rays off garland ropes.
the green lights spurred the rest to go;
the yellow blazed its bold embrace.
Red a resplendant,  vibrant show;
but blue held calming, peaceful grace.
Reminding of a midnight sky
when gleamed a star to mark the birth;
which seemed too meek to signify
its giving hope to all on earth.
Coming from this humble scene,
a promise felt yet to this day.
Within this silent blue serene,
a gentle babe to show the way.
