Christmas Snow 

​

we walk far, but alone ,
under sad and low skies 

these desolate days of fall,

we wait for somebody, anybody

through cold secluded evenings, 
this nascent wintertime

​

and we long again, for the gift 
of a mantle crystalline

made of gentle pearls of snow ,
to adorn our wounded earth

​

may its pure white cover 
remind us, to welcome 

in each newborn child ,
a new Hope, and Mercy 
for all Mankind, 

​

and, may we recognize 
in those frail eyes ,
the eternal sparkle ,
of Light Divine.
