A Feral reflects on Christmas (Henry)

One Thing’s Necessary this Christmas
With apologies to Hans Borli, wonderful Norwegian poet, who wrote the original
 
One thing’s necessary — here 
in this hard world of ours 
of homeless and outcast people: 
 
 Let God take residence in you.
 
Walk into the darkness 
and clean the soot from the lamp. 
 
So that people on the roads 
can glimpse Light 
in your inhabited eyes.
