Christmas Blackbird
A holiday morning poem
distant quiet at dawn
on a silver soft morning
above on a limb
as I walk
the blackbird sings
its mournful caw
to the grace of
a day reborn
while the children wake
in the muted light
of beauty’s breath
tiptoeing into miracles
rosy cheeked
rising from forgotten sleep
into the wonder of angels
