Monday WRites 187

[Periwinkle from my garden]

LAST HURRAH
In midmorning, I am thinking sunsets.
The kind that linger golden and bold.
Then drops, in a flash.
This year end, there is no sadness to leaving behind.
No hankering to looking back
Not yet anyway.
The lingering is preeminent to the drop.
All neatly arranged and equally fitted into the event. Year end.
All that can be, all that can blossom, has done just that.
If the fragrance dares follow into next year. Let it.
For such is the nature of blossoming.

LOVE GIFTED
Gold frankincense and myrrh,
Gifts fit for the king of kings,
He in a manger lay;
With smiles and gurgles,
For animal friends looking on,

Sweet Mary; she swaddles him warm,
While angels sing his welcoming song.
Holy, holy, is the night
Emanuel he, our gift of love.

Monday WRites 185

SIPS OF JOY
Sips of joy, lets be ready
To welcome Mary's baby boy
Once again our heart we share
For Christmas time comes around
Nearer and nearer a star shines
Over a stable of majesty.

PONDERING PEACE
Peace where sky meets sea
When rainbows glow a plenty
And war a forgotten history like
Misted mornings hiding mountains

Hands to hold walking together
Smiles to savour from hour to hour
How this dream awakens desires
Hope in still many eras to consider

Respect and understanding bow
In meeting holding gazes steadfast
Love and honour marry freely
For off springs of generations foretold

Sleeping butterfly wings grow strong till
Time to come forth victory is already won

PREPARE YE
Stars: polishing points,
the more to direct souls of the lost,
those with tails swish and sway
for soon a baby will lay in the hay.
cattle will low while angels sing,
and shepherds listen
to strange new strains adrift in the sky,
all in preparation of a wondrous night

SUNDAY AT THE MALL
Bold Poinsettias, reddened now,
cheer the pace of shopper's footsteps,
still though, allowing for a pause,
a breath, to listen to music of violins,
securing the swag of the musician's vibe.
Some Sundays at the mall swing that way.
Audience voices lend to microphones.

NOTE: Linking to dVerse meant I may have to edit my poem when the quadrille prompt appeared. So yes my edit was the word cheer instead of pulse
