Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas, poets of the web
Friends of silver phrases in the night
Laid with grace upon the finger’s edge
To print your imaged words in black and white

May the season fill your heart with truth
Inspiring the old symbolic quill
To whisper past the lip and tongue and tooth
The power of the thoughts that you instill

May the peace that Christmas pleasures bring
Flow through the colored thoughts of flowing inks
Which make a cardinal spread a flashing wing
And stars to glitter down in little blinks

May the joy a Child brought to all
Bring to your verses wonderment and light
As that which from a humble stable stall
Illuminated glory of the night

May the season’s happiness adorn
The pouring of your soul in verse and rhyme
And may the words so genuinely born
Endure in splendor for the rest of time

Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know
