Christmas
is a holiday for friends,
However they may be, or not, related.
Remember that the three wise kings were strangers
In search of one remote, uncanny dream.
So may we all be far more than we seem,
Together bound for dark and haunting changes,
More lovely for the loves we have created
Along the lonely paths from means to ends,
Stumbling towards that star of Bethlehem.
--
Merry Christmas to my
love!
Enjoy the holiday!
Revel where the angels
move,
Rejoice in what they say!
Years burn life
down to a stub;
Christmas comes and goes.
Happiness
lies at the nub,
Refuse of one's woes.
Inside
the husk there is the seed,
Shivering with glory;
The
midnight cold, the dire need,
Mere setting for the story.
All the labor, loss, and pain
Sings of beauty born
again. -
Candles are a gift of light,
A
tiny sun, a bit of star.
No other dancer in the night
Dances with such sheer delight,
Little souls serene and
bright,
Each a glimpse of what we are
Shining
innocent and pure.
