                                   "Candlelight Glow"

 

                          Christmas woven into memories

                          yuletide candles flicker upon 

                          stained glass dove of peace

                          colours ever vivid dance 'n glow

 

                         Crescendo of the pipe organ

                         bellows opening, notes ever pure

                         clarity of the duet's playing 

                        "Oh Holy Night"

 

                        Horse trotting, drawn sleigh glides

                        sleigh bells gingle through the air  

                        couple warmed their hearts

                        with memories woven, luminaries flicker

 

                       Candlelight glow of Christmas Eve

                       lighting each wick to the other as the

                       choir's Cantata resonates

                       the story of the Christ Child

 

                      Guitar strings leading the moment

                      "Silent Night" the candelight glow

                      dim, gentlemen in colonial atire

                      lanterns lead the way, candlight glow

Hi, Mary Ann!
Beautiful glowing scenes light our lives at Christmastime. I especially love the 4th verse, as it makes me see and feel again the beauty of the moment when we stood side by side in a circle along the side walls of the church, doing this very thing. We were the singers, joining our voices in "Silent Night." I just love the memory, and I loved your gentle poem, too.
Keep warm there in Watsontown, so near to my hometown. Have a happy and blessed New Year, my friend!

This brings back memories of my childhood in northern Alberta. We went to midnight mass in a horse-drawn "stoneboat." Thank you for sharing this gift, Mary Ann. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Your poem harkens back to a time before mine. My mother's memory of taking the sleigh to go off to her aunt's house for the holidays through the snow. Candles lighting the tree and the house when there was no electricity. Bells were necessary on farm animals so that you knew where they were and they weren't being attacked by predators like wolves or bears.

The memories of the Christmas and holiday season are clear, deeply engrained in most if not all of us, and never let us go. A beautiful poem reflective of the holy season and its many fond memories.
