HALLELUJAH

written by: Anahit Arustamyan

Hallelujah
I was born with an innocent scream.
God, you gave me a body but I am still a dream.
You know what I am in the world’s rainful stream.
God, you teach me, you heal me but I am still a pale beam.
When I am your angel I will shine on a rainbow’s skin.
Hallelujah
God, I am a voice which sings.
I am a wing or a fin.
God, you know why I neither fly nor swim.
I am a dawn, fresh and clean.
I am a dark night, awake or asleep.
The earthly life is a ghost ship.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I am a voice risen to sing.
Hallelujah
I am a mortal leaf of the immortal tree.

A Song for Christmas by Steve Carr

I was sixteen. Ma’s upright piano stood against the wall in the dining room where it had been since Ma and Pa were married. It was Grandma’s piano, but she gave it to my Ma as a wedding present. It was made of mahogany and Ma polished it almost every day. I was sitting at it just plucking randomly on the black keys when Ma placed a bright red runner across the top of the piano and, a few minutes later, placed the crèche on the runner. She arranged the figures of Mary and Joseph around the baby Jesus lying in a manger.
“You’re late puttin’ that out this year, Ma,” I said.
“Each year there are more and more boxes of Christmas decorations to sort through,” she said.
I strummed several keys with an unmelodic result and heaved a loud sigh.
“Have you decided yet which song you’re going to do for the Christmas service?” she asked ...
