In the sky, glowing bright
The comet's tail lights up the night .
Harbinger of joy or doom?
Thirty-nine bodies fill a room.
Nearly at the century's end
2000 years and it comes again.
What occurred when last it came
To light the skies with it's trailing flame?
Might kings have followed where it led
To worship at a stable bed?
Celestial snowball orbiting Sol
Or herald of a Gift bestowed?
