Christmas night sky

Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun

Christmas Candle

lighting the
Christmas candle
tiny flame
transforms
the night

Northern sun

Northern sun
shines on frozen beach
still the days grow shorter
shadow of poinsettia
on the wall

Rest At Christmas

Christmas CDs
playing with the volume low
in the fields
the beauty of harvested
corn in snow

This is a new site, a quiet place for some of my Christmas poems.

I began with WordPress in December, 2009.  My first blog is Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.

“In the beginning was the Word . . .”  John 1:1
