Advent by Stephen Leake |
|
|
Somewhere your star-struck choir sings As the evening unpeels our histories. The world is here again! I feel the breathing of yuletide fires, The ribboned refrains of seasoned candles And bars of voices beyond St. Stephen�s Wall. The robin appears in a globe of joy His carol negotiating wreaths of cloud And tinsled cakes of snow. We wing into the holy day While the blinking eye of the gifting moon Receives you at that vanishing point On memory�s path: Outlived by love Alone. |
