Vivaldi's Gloria


red-tied notes begin sounding octaves
heralding praise
announcing prince of peace born on
earth  

and we shepherds stand in awe
gazing up at
dotted rhythmed Gloria a repeated
exclamation mark in the heavens pointing to  

expressive minor peace on earth
suspensions lingering
labouring to resolve into
warm harmonic union  

all inspired by holy
incarnation
incarnadine
cry of joy
