The Stable’s Calm – A Poem for Christmas Day by Fr Mark Skelton.
These men, who work in dark and chill,
are fired by bursting heaven flame.
And drawn to leave their sheep-flecked hill
they enter into stable’s calm.
A star now moved and raised to blaze
to draw the gaze of those who dream.
To turn them from their normal ways,
and bring them to the stable’s calm.
A father, old yet full of grace;
a girl, new-born to mother’s role;
and history remoulds this space,
and at this point, a stable calm.
