Epiphany Night

At the end of the season, Epiphany Night
leaving the light, shining over the nativity
Mary, Joseph, still under the star, shining
His light, still burning, into the night
a window still aglow, still shining into the night
for passerbys to see, gleaming in the night
Burning from its rising, casting light
onto the mother, the father, the babe
the holy family, under his star
still shining brightly, Epiphany Night
