The Lord of Lords never takes birth
On the day of 'Arudra*', he appeared first
The cosmic dance of Rudra began thus
On our Mother Earth, on this day of Winter Solstice!
The force of Rudra blew off the Sun
The Third of the Planets began its run
Menstrual cycle of the Virgin Mother began
Dark and Wet, She writhed in pain and angst
Rudra the life force, charged her dark cloud
Lightning discharged, AUM, reverberated aloud
Life took root in the womb of Virgin Mother
Sun, Water and Wind, guided life further
****
The Godhead was born in a dungeon prison
To dispel darkness and provide us vision
On a dark, stormy and windy night
On our Mother Earth, on a day like Winter Solstice!
Krishna was born on the star of the East**
Three wise men1 knew all of his feats
He fought tyranny and cruelty as a child
Bought joy to the people of his tribe
He taught Action and Righteousness on battlefield
Pearls of Wisdom were our yield
The CROSS of an arrow nailed him on his feet
The fountain of Godhead's words ever lives!
********
The God of men was born in a stable
He healed the sick and performed miracles
Marked by a Star in the midst of night
On our Mother Earth, on this day of Winter Solstice!
Mithra2 raised the dead and made blind see
The lame walked and the devils flee
A new way of life began for his people
Not much is known of his twelve disciples
The CROSS on his shoulders charged their minds
Belief and confidence became new finds
Protector of the Romans and Sun of the God
Mithra held on till the arrival of Son of the Lord!
********
The Son of the Lord was born in a shed
To dispel darkness by shedding his blood
Marked by a Eastern Star and Three men of wise
On our Mother Earth, on this day of Winter Solstice!
The words of Jesus scorched the evil
The deeds of Jesus torched the devil
A new way of life began for his people
The world knew him through his disciples..
The CROSS on his shoulders charged their minds
Love and Forgiveness became new finds
His impact was phenomenal, wide and far
Even time got stamped by the birth of his star
****
Scores and Scores of men of Gods
Mohamed, Buddha, Rama and so many (un)forgotten Lords
Remember, Not in their million (un)spoken words
God resided in their hearts!
Whenever ONE star rose in the East
It lead three wise men to Savior, the Christ
Let LOVE rise in ALL directions
And lead all humans to their day of resurrection!
Happy Christmas!

Them Omnipresent never has to be borne or traverse...
Not sure what you mean by virgin mother...seems more of your own concoction as ?iv also is unborne...
on the whole, it sound more poetic and realistic...
hope you'll make the corrections...

Your poem is wonderful -- how true it is that Rudra, Krishna, Mithra and Christ are intertwined so much that it is hard to tell them apart...dharma is common to all and there is no doubt the ancients adopted ideas/ideals freely...
Best Wishes...

I had tried to draw parrallel's between divinities worshipped in different parts of the world.
Regd ur contention on Krsna's appearance,
I would put it as 'in Krsna He appeared'. Krsna (dark, black) has been there always. And 'He' has always resided in Krsna. The darkest of the dark is the dark matter (krsna) that is insensitive to all our physical senses, but is perceptible logically. And in that dark matter when he resides he is called with thousand names from Vishnu to Purusha..
You believe he was born as devaki nandan. But he says in Gita, that 'He' remains unborn ever.
Some body believes Rama was His manifestation.
How can 'He' be restricted to mortal manifestations of Indian Sub-continent alone..? So Somebody believes Mitra was was His manifestation. Somebody believes Jesus was his manifestation. Somebody believes Mohammed was His prophet etc.

Regd Rudra and Virgin Mother
Rudra is the force that generated life-giving conditions according to my interpretation of Vedas. Rudra does it by a process of robbery/stealing/lifting things off and placing it somewhere else.
I had visualized that Earth blew off the from what remains today as our Sun and over a period got separated to the point where it is now. When Earth started its run around the Central Star it was a dark, cold and wet place that was ready to propogate life, but not having life.
I had referred to this as a 'Virgin Mother'. Surely my own concoction. But accdg to what I read, it also could be the current thought process of many others.
