Rapture for a black night, twinkle of the path
sing along twilight silence soft, standing tall
walking proudly through a court of twelve
for a December accounting, thus to be lessons
learned for a January beginning anew once again
Gleeful sopranos and baritones with choirs blending
lighting up a soulful verse arched for gleaning trees
into glistening winds..love's serenity stanzas in joyous
caroling for beginning new journeys hibernating within

I really enjoyed the mental images of Christmas carolers but I LOVE the last line with "new journeys hibernating within".

Choirs singing old fashioned carols probably represent the last vestiges of the real meaning of Christmas and you have captured that atmosphere perfectly here. Pity those new January journeys are seldom completed.
VOICES BLENDING IN THE BEAUTIFUL TONES OF CAROLING, MOVING...WITHIN AND WITHOUT. VIVID IMAGERY, MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Bring on the harmony in two parts; the paths of lights to lead us into the season of glory and singing,harmony and new journeys and memories to carry in to the new year! Lovely poem showcasing winters delight. I'm partial to this offering, Vivian, the flow is soft and sweet!

Wow! I never used the word–wordsmith, because I thought it was for one, overused by those who had nothing else to say, and two, that it was merely a synonym for writer.
Your "Harmony in Two Parts," convince me otherwise. I think this is your masterpiece, Viv.
I'm so proud of you.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
