Cumming's Christmas
Hope you all had a great holiday. Here is a poem for you.
Cumming’s Christmas (After E.E. Cummings)
snow(lights hush as
a world whispers)
trees hold their
breath, stars curl
like quiet flames in
the velvet-now
(Around the softest
corners of tonight
dreams unwrap
themselves
into laughter)
windows glow small
miracles
of orange & gold,
the hum of fires
dances—(hearts sing
through frost-kissed
glass)
listen: the
silence (a song
older than Time)
falls gentle
as a child’s
hand reaching toward
the first morning.
