Holly Night, Holy Night
Virginia Salter

Green, red, silver, gold
adorn both door and lite.
Sparkled panes, of window glass,
glisten in the night.

Tannenbaum and candles glow,
street lamps, red and green;
snow-capped hills, frosted trees
fill the festive scene.

In some hearts a radiant beam,
as if an ember’s blush,
uplifted by the memory
of that unforgettable creche.

In other hearts a strident stream
of aching, lonely thought,
seeking hard serenity
in what’s received or bought.

Oh holy night or holly night
the choice lies deep within
look to the wrapping or the Light,
to Son of God or men.

Amen.

More, more.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

This is quite a lovely offering -
in content and presentation !

I'm sending it to the top in the hopes
that some others will get the opportunity
to see it.
BEAUTIFUL !
