(A reflection on the beauty of the Holiday Season, and the blessings of Nature.)


Poem Artwork

 

Holly and a Rose, true beauty is in those ~

   winter has beckoned

   from golden, leafy throngs    

   evergreen and berries

   to nestle near a sweeter song

   with perfume edging

   the breathy cold

   entering the new year

   with a garland to hold 

   as gray light flickers

   beyond our reason

   a single image endures

   through this season -

Holly and a Rose, true beauty is in those.

Holly and a rose seems most powerful to me because of the simple image. This is an image that my minds eye can completely envision. I can circle, touch, smell the combined items. a symbol to clutch, a reminder that the gray light will pass.

thank you

I believe we have holly here in Houston, but I haven't seen it. But we do have roses blooming in our front yard, pansies raising their little heads towards the sun in the backyardd and Christmas cactus in between that love the cold weather seldom seen.

How lovely - and a timely reminder to see the beauty that is all around us every day in the midst of darker thoughts.
