Holy guide
invite me to abide
in safe pasture grasses like a lamb,
or like a baby swaddled safely in her pram,
holy guide your beauty is a bright anagram
of love and I never have to grope
in darkness, help me cope
star of hope.
This holiday season
a multitude of gifts
is not what I am craving
This Christmas my desire
is for the luxury of peace
of warmth and time
I know I'm asking for a lot
but I pledge to do my best
to truly make it happen

I remember as a teen
enjoying the holidays
but in the back of my mind
I was quietly hoping to be surprised
by a special Christmas card
from some secret admirer
better known as my prince charming

dreams of falling snow
on the eve of Christmas morn

The angels did not sing. Not at first.
Their silence split the sky like frost on stone,
a pause between the star’s slow burst
and the breath that would become the song.
Noel, they’d say, but first—the dark,
the shepherd’s fire gnawing at the night,
the lamb’s pulse quick beneath his palm,
the weight of wool, the itch of straw,
the way a man might kneel
without knowing why.
Then~
the air grown thick with wings,
the cry like wine poured from a height,
the name that broke the nameless dark:
Noel, Noel, the root, the spark,
the falling, catching, light.
Now we hum it, clean and bright,
but the first Noel was half a scream~
the sound a world makes when it tears
and finds the seam is lined with gold.
Writing special love you note
Setting out milk and Santa’s favourite cookies
Plan staying up till midnight

Each of my limbs is meant for adorning
With beautiful lights and jolly decorations
Ribbons flow around me, never warning
This is the time when love touches in sensations
I still remember the joy of the squirrels and birds
When I lived in the forest, beside the oaks I love
For the ache in my heart, there are really no words
But I must sacrifice my quiet life for the One above
He is worth more than many of my green hands
I am only one of this Jesus’ many fans!
The Days
In the quiet days,
between Christmas...
and the New Year
there are tears of joy,
and loss combined
together.
Some welcome what is to come.
Others are afraid of what will be.
God is the only truth that shines,
through all the time-s,
both good,
and bad.
Goodbye, yesterday,
hello to tomorrow...
a face without sorrow,
a race to start again
and win.
The light shines in the morning,
and the moon is bright in the night.
Whisper goodbye with a sigh
and eat apple pie
one piece at time,
and all will be fine.
Smelling
Woody, sweet, aroma
Christmas pine tree,
Weaved with Bright blinking lights,
Topped with a starlit top.
Feeling
The Brrr ... chill of the night air
Brrr ... freezing cold of the North Pole.
Listening
To the sounds of the wind
For the Ring a ling, jingling,
Ringing of the sleigh bells.
Watching
Moonlight shadows dancing
On the walls as they take
Different fantasy shapes
Waiting
Jolly, rolly, “Ho, Ho, Ho”
White beard Santa
In a white fur trim, red velvet suit.
Seeing
Santa’s sleigh just went zooming by
Fading off to nighttime dreams
Making every minute count.

there is a place of deep repose
where chasing Christmas never goes
along a path of fallen leaves
where autumn’s warm late beauty breathes
- a timeless tranquil silent space
that keeps at bay life’s rats that race
and frees the mind from mindless talk
so thoughts can wander while hearts walk.
As the angel spoke of God’s Son,
Telling Mary what love has done,
Her heart must have pulsed with insight
As this child shines His gentle light.
An angel soothed Mary’s betrothed
Soon, their sweet baby would be swathed
In swaddling cloth, this silent night
As this child shines His gentle light
Angels reveal the birth of peace,
With joy that will always increase,
So love came to make all things right,
As this child shines His gentle light
This truth told by hearts who believe,
Shows us when Mary did conceive
This is love that brings the blind sight
As this child shines His gentle light.
As the angel’s voice sings of love
There is hope promised from above
Love came, our story to rewrite
As this child shines His gentle light
Peppering the season
Praising God, the reason
Prayers for hearts and souls
Peace that always consoles
Preparing us for One
Prince of Peace, He will stun
Pure love has just begun
Glistening, dazzling
Whispering gentle
Colorful ribbons
Pines, sentimental
Christmas miracles
Lovely spirit
Blessing our hearts
Silent night heard
Winds blowing hope
Christmas bells
Carols sung
Merry souls
Spices
Winter
Joy
Here, my gift,
My hand in yours.
Hear, my promise,
No weapons of war.
Here, my heart,
Full of love and peace.
The time is here,
It's Christmas Eve!
When every hand is held
None can go astray
The whole world is at peace
On this Christmas day
Here, I stand.
Full of love!
Here, I am!
Connecting us
There you are,
Let us be,
I take your hand
A gift of peace.
When every hand is held
None can go astray
The whole world is at peace
On this Christmas day
Here, is faith
Dividing us
Here is color
Dividing us
Join together
Find that common ground
Hear the way our unity
Can make a joyful sound
When every hand is held
None can go stay
The whole world is at peace
On this Christmas day
Why can’t it be Christmas every day
With lights that cheer and cards that say
I love you and I hold you dear
Why can’t it be Christmas all the year
Each night could be a Silent Night
In quiet peace, no guns in sight
Where Egg Nog pours and ribbons flow
And each kiss steals ‘neath Mistletoe
Oh yes, and all may share the gift
As hunger ceases, sure and swift
And every Carol’s song of love
Is grateful to the star above
Why can’t it be Christmas every day
Perhaps that is too much to say
At least in thought that’s how it starts
Let’s carry Christmas in our hearts
