Break of Day
Walk with me as daylight breaks
her age-old fragile smile
bearing witness as she awakes
The morning crisp and juvenile
from dainty streaks to quilted hues
her age-old fragile smile
Everywhere nature takes her cues
bursting forward in her glory
from dainty streaks to quilted hues
Hearken now and hear her story
life has ceased its hibernation
bursting forward in her glory
Foundation built by Master Mason
green mold on ragged rocks; behold!
Life has ceased its hibernation
Torrents of color and sounds unfold
green mold on ragged rocks; behold!
Walk with me as daylight breaks
bearing witness as she awakes.
Golden Holly
I had a vision Christmas night,
while sitting blue in candle light.
Bereft of strength, good will and cheer
with naught but loneliness this year,
a wonderment had filled my sight.
The mellow glow from candle’s wick
had sputtered pink and silver quick!
I thought my eyes had played a game
and rubbed them as wee figures came,
though startled, was not feeling sick.
The air was laced with fragrant mist
all cranberry and chocolate kissed,
and by the windows soon appeared
a twinkling tree with star that cheered,
this tattered room had sorely missed.
My soul had warmed as did the room
for hearth held fire in its womb,
and there above; as over door
hung golden holly to adore,
its glitter hues displaced the gloom.
Poinsettias’ velvet; red and white
replaced the dust on shelves just right,
as each soft petal held a smile
adding festive flair with style,
and ended loneliness’s blight.
It’s then I woke too much surprise
t’was not a vision touched my eyes,
but a real visit by fairies: three
that spruced the room with life for me.
This special gift; my heart shall prize!
Oh Sacred Orb...
my heart so seeks release!
Oh radiant beams from ancient orb above,
come cleanse my soul of bitter cold drawn nigh.
Cast wretched gray away this day I cry--
Send rays of light to steal this winter's glove.
I yearn to hear the cooing of a dove,
a moment when the ground is simply dry.
Imploring now, "Oh please do not be shy.
Please fill this void with warming rays of love."
While slumbering you heard my solemn plea.
Through chilling snow this force of fire shows change.
With blessed joy, my heart, it only sings!
So sweet this orb of light has been to me.
An Earth now lush from mire, is it strange?
Rejoicing in the healing touch it brings.
