new day beckons
replete with infinite rebirth
revealed in
alabaster, snow-capped branches
in a bright, sunlit sky
closing eyes
on a quest
to a raw beauty
that mars.
and human scars
recalling torment
and unveiled suffering...
on timber ascending skyward
a different snow-less day
close them to evict
the outside world
gaze inward!
praising
filling
emptying
there,
an abandoned cradle
desolate and lifeless
a missing Christ Child
not yet resurrected
and yet,
snowflakes
fall afresh
kissing my face
in a christening
of sorts
immersed and washed clean
a smile emerging
as natural
and miraculous
as baby's arrival
into the naked NOW
Beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely indeed! Here's one that offer in antiphonal praise:
ReplyDeleteFlurry of Inactivity
Remember that one moment of
frozen silence when all the
earth seemed still and a
single flake of perfection
floated from the heavens?
With head lifted
up and heart
wide open like a
wide eyed child you
stuck out your tongue
to catch that flurry
of cool mystery,
only to let it
melt away
without regret.
Before the blizzard
of words and
the thoughts they carry
begin to pile up
on the path
let that one single
glorious potentiality
which within its fractal
complexity holds
all God’s secrets
rest on your mind. In that
Sabbath Pause say nothing,
do nothing for soon that sparkling
holiness will melt before
the noon-day sun.
WOW....so layered and lovely! thank you for sharing ;-)
