            Christmas Epiphany

As the barren day dissolves in most
  grateful surrender
to the balm of this starry winter’s eve,
its gentle cloak of moonlit midnight
  dreams
mask the many paths of pain,
so mind and spirit may freely roam
through snow-soft fields and forests
of sparkling hopes and memories
from lovely Christmas past ... and yet to be.

              --- b. e. adams
                  [Christmas 2009]

"And yet to be." One of the most beautiful Christmas poems I have ever read, Bruce.

Bruce,

Ida and I agree a lot and we agree on this poem.  This is one of the most beautiful poems that I have read about Christmas and winter.  I enjoy your talent and ability to show me the world through your poems.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.
