Christmas Song and Shimmer


Christmas song
(By Sil,  the22nd of December, 2009, HBC)


If I could portion happiness in perfect shapes of ginger dough
And offer wishes wrapped in crispy paper
If I could line my soul in tinsel forever gold
And hear angels sing - would I still feel a leper?

I yearn to celebrate in faith the birthday his Son
But with this hapless friend it’s long since I have spoken
Have you forgotten – would you even sign a card
Or are you tired of my hectoring, my Lord?

Shiny flecks shimmered of fairies against dirt
Amongst moon-flowers and garlic beds – beauty or gaudy disco-light?
I believed in crumbs of divine scattered shards
Cell-mate and soul-mate, we cannot share in tiny delight

We’re left to search a way through the holy jumble
Fractured by the weight of wonders we cannot see
Are you and I overlooking the fact that
The world is a puzzle that also assembles in 4D?

I would gather the sparkle of a thousand Christmas trees
To shine enough brilliance deep into your weary heart
Stocked up on your beam s and roasted in glow of love
I would be at your side till winter’s end, my most affiliated bard.


Shimmer
(By Gub , 26th of December, 2009, HBC)

Millennia presses coal
In hidden seams

Diamonds’
Eventual
Gleam

We strive to meet our goal.

Dig deep beneath the fallen snow
Powder light
Glistens
And crystals
Glow

Seasons
Come

Shorter sense in meaning

Celebrations hard won.

Transform ice to water
Adorn the rafters with
Festive lace
Spin webs
With flowers
Pinecones
Ribbons red

The house glitters
Inside the sun

Such godly
Imitations
Flatter nature into reason
Close the gap
Between belief
In Love
And all that’s left unsaid
And all that’s left undone.
