Christmas Floats
written by: Fotoula Reynolds
Light, shade and perspective
On the wings of white butterflies
Sunday’s roses resurrect everything
Peonies rest unaligned and
Courtesy blooms unashamedly
In petals of periwinkle-blue
Under a poinsettia-red sky
A Garden-Star-of-Bethlehem
Flowers in the frankincense air
Pine needles pirouette to ground
Myrtle branches swing in time
And Christmas floats on earth
In Nazareth’s dead of night
The son of God is born
Oh, how the world glows
