The flesh-present of Christmas,

God in man, man in God.

Wrapped as union,

deity and desperation joined

together in blood, muscle, bone and spirit.

Walking together

in divine cadence through

veils of time and restricting space.

Experiencing together

impossible things

with the all-things-are-possible-God.

Without this willing One coming

dressed in the clothing of our flesh

He would still be the distant,

Unknown One.

Now this Emmanuel God,

this flesh and bones God with us,

walks as me and me as He,

together, in a forever Christmas.
