Christmas Morning

The curtains part ever so slowly this morning 
fingering the light of a beckoning sky 
church bells have yet to be pulled for the ring 
as children stomp out of bed with a sigh 

The hum of the season is still in my throat 
chanting its way into far and remote 
gliding through hour I fill the coffee pot 
then slice up a fruit cake ready or not 

Christmas is here like a flannel of night  
channeling daylight like hand to a glove   
together we wait for His birthing right  
today we shall open the gift of his love 

The curtains are parted to let in the morn 
He birthed again, all sins have been shorn.
