THE LEGEND OF THE
TRUMPETING ANGEL

On Christmas Eve, an exhausted soldier
dozed in a trench, when an unexpected sound woke him.
From across no-man’s-land came a voice singing “Stille Nacht,”
which the soldier recognized as “Silent Night.”
When the song ended, a nearby voice answered
with “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Others joined,
and from somewhere above,
the bright notes of a trumpet sounded, too.
And so it went, both sides trading carols
until -miraculously- a truce was called,
and two entrenched armies
ventured out to exchange Christmas wishes,
As if that weren’t surprising enough, all were shocked to learn
that there wasn’t a trumpet to be found amongst them.
But one young soldier had an idea where the music had come from.
He pointed skyward and shouted, “Der engel!”
The tired soldier immediately understood:
The boy was saying, “The angel!”
And the soldier, who no longer felt weary,
didn’t have to see it with his eyes to believe it in his heart.
