Christmas (Christmas Card Poem 2023)

entry picture

Blowing all over the exposed garden
On Christmas Day
Before yielding to the gustsĀ 
The leaves blow words
Over the frozen ground
Buried in the spotlight,

Pushing our lifetimes
In front of our faces
Tearing us away from our presentsĀ 
Like coins in sunken vases
A miracle into a wonderful life
A family drama into a celebration.

Christmas card says
Stay happy today
When thrown away
Forgotten family troubles
Say I have
Not gone anywhere.
