Miracle

Stars shining bright,
blinking when clouds pass.
Snow is slowly falling.
Silence.
White snow covers the earth,
covers the world's sins,
for this holy night is innocent.
And each year another, yet same night
starts and ends innocent,
for no one takes its innocence away.
Everyone is friendly.
Everywhere is peace.
And each being feels the miracle.
The miracle of peace,
the miracle of the holy night.
