Behold a star among animals...

I looked at the galaxies,

as far off as birds

that fly

between spheres of light

Messages of the God who is there?

Or embers only

of an ordinary flame  

that returns to dust

and ash?

Behold a star

among animals.

Angels safeguard 

a family poor

but with a treasure of myrrh.

A choir of pastors.

And in the middst of them, You.

Only You, Jesus,

because everything leads to You,

to the beginning and the end

of the stars.

New heavens

and new Earth.

Pedro Tarquis, translated from Spanish.
