The Lamppost

the lamppost
is dressed with promise~
evergreen boughs
red ribbons
holly berries
flecks of snow,
real or show,
and my love
is around the world
looking at the moon
while I search hard
for the sun

we are as far away
as day from night
and yet
in our hearts
we are as dawn
or dusk
inseparable

this Christmas
we will cling
to our heart’s view
of our unity

©December 4, 2002

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

So rich in imagery, so rich in meaning.
Absolutely lovely!
