Line Gauthier Poet Haibun

Christmas Enchantment

Under the mistletoe on Christmas Eve when the children are finally asleep, a blessed silence hovers in the air that oozes with divine melody. I have to gasp as I look out my window and find a new dusting of snow glistening in the moonglow. How perfect is this enchanted night~  I swear up in the sky that must be the star of Bethlehem I see.

                                    chaste christmas snowflakes
                                    soft with anticipation ~
                                    a most holy night
