Christmas 2008
Hodie!
Unfold the seasonal petals
of your snow-dusted bursting bloom!
Reveal to the clamoring
hungering world
my warmly fleshly
glory-bright birth!
Then ah—listen!
Soon follows
the clear benediction
of a cold bell chiming.
Hodie! Venite adoremus,
Christus natus est!

Hello. Your poem reminded me what I was saying to the plants as I bedded down the garden before snow and cold engulfed my place of tranquility. Very nice blog and I like your writings.
Thanks for stopping by, George. May your new year be a good one. Peace.
