    Thank you Malcom for those deeply touching poems. They put me in the proper mood to attend our midnight mass. Merry Christmas to you and yours. May 2024 dawn with the hope of peace throughout the world.
    Take care,
    Stephen

    Merry Christmas Mr. Malcolm, from Missouri, United States.
    We get so busy in this country, and try to keep up with the “Christmas” expectations….
    When all we should do is humbly bow down on our knees, and whisper “Thank you God, for your beautiful Son”

    I believe "Descent" has just become my new favorite Christmas poem. To think that a few lines could so faithfully capture the beauty of the Incarnation. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    I will not be attending mass this evening,, but I thank you all the same. It reminds me of the importance of poetry today. There are poets, Israeli and Palestinian, who have been harmed by the events which began on the 7th of October. This is a great pain for people of all faiths, but especially Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

      Out of the Ash William Everson/Brother Antonius
      Solstice of the dark, the absolute
      Zero of the year. Praise God
      Who comes for us again, our lives
      Pulled to their fisted knot,
      Cinched tight with cold, drawn
      To the heart’s constriction; our faces
      Seamed like clinkers in the grate,
      Hands like tongs-Praise God
      That Christ, phoenix immortal,
      Springs up again from solstice ash,
      Drives his equatorial ray
      Into our cloud, emblazons
      Our stiff brow, fries
      Our chill tears. Come Christ,
      Most gentle and throat-pulsing Bird!
      O come, sweet Child! Be gladness
      In our church! Waken with anthems
      Our bare rafters! O phoenix
      Forever! Virgin-wombed
      And burning in the dark,
      Be born! Be born!
      From The Veritable Years: Poems 1949-1966 by William Everson (Brother Antoninus). Copyright © 1998 by Jude Everson and the William Everson Literary Estate.
      A Christmas poem I finally found for you and your readers.

      Then resurrect the midnight mass of your youth - and insist the younger and your current friends join you in the right and obvious worship of your creator… Do the right and British thing … while there is still time to thank your Creator for Eternal LIFE…
      God Bless you

    Absolutely beautiful words as usual, sir! I was sitting on my porch, enjoying my churchwarden, overlooking the river in the moonlight, all while listening to your previous Christmas videos. ("Christmas at Sea" is a favorite of mine). Ecce! Malcolm Guite uploaded a new video! Great messages to remember this season and to keep in mind what is going on in our world today. Thank you -- may you, Maggie, and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
