12-29-93 A Christmas Poem

Ah, the moon shines so brightly on bare legs

Whispering sweet nothings to an open ear

I gaze in wonder, struck by sight

Of it’s glistening surface, milky white

A halo full and round like I’ve never seen

Blessing this Christmas evening in prayer

Struck in blue as a holy light

She keeps me wakeful, knowing, calm

God’s glory sings a message

for one and all to see

The safeness of His story

and loving memory

Those midnight bells are ringing and mingling

with my nothings

I’m happy in this existential moment,

me and the full moon

Christmas past and the halo glows

reminding me of God’s presence

in my life

and on nature’s skyway to Heaven
