Angel of the Lord - “On Earth Peace to Those on Whom His Favors Rests”

 Crystal Michell Fallin, Lead Angel Nutcracker Ballet, 1996

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Luke 2:8-14

“Lovely” A Poem

 

All that made you

 fragile and fierce;

clever and powerful;

wounded and creative;

layered and thoughtful;

moody and insightful;

wild and damaged,

Can be described in

One single word:

Lovely…

“A Soul who knew how to Dance”

 She always had that way about her.

With a heart that knew depths

Beyond this world, eyes that saw

The beauty in all things and a

Soul that just knew how to dance.

The Maiden of Heaven’s White Veil

 Crystal Michelle Fallin, a Snowflake in the Waltz of the Snowflakes, Nutcracker Ballet performed by the St. Augustine Premier Ballet Company 1996.

The Snow Maiden

The Snow cascaded, swirled and blew,

in the Magical Kingdom

Of the Land of Snow;

Amidst the snow flakes and fairies.

The Snow Maiden dances,

Twirling on pointed toes

From moonbeam to shadow;

Her silhouette we follow

From forest to meadow;

Snow and ice are her friends,

The coated white earth is her floor;

Center stage from heaven

The stars shine on her,

Seeking no other;

She is the Snow Maiden

Graceful and fair,

in her fairy white dress

With star light in her hair;

Delicate and graceful

From finger tip to toe,

She's eloquent to behold;

Her eyes sparkles like Crystals

Amidst the snow fairies and sprites

She waltzes in solace

With mystical delight;

From winter's breath she came

Twirling and dancing in the chilled air;

Through the forest and the fields

The wind whispers her name,

Brilliant and translucent...Crystal

The maiden of heaven's white veil.
