With wonder
and delight
he
looked
And saw
how
the seasons
change
month
after month
year
after year
Our planet
revolving
around
the sun
More wonder
still
in my
own mind
Seeing
how
he’s grown
month
after month
year
after year
This boy
now taller
than me,
my son
Gently
drifting
down
I feel
invincible
gleaming
in the
starry light
The
freezing
cold
does no
harm
Becoming
one with
my brethren
we silently
lie joyously
beneath
a starry
winter’s night
And
become
part of
Christmas’
charm
salient
silhouettes
separate
snowy skies
soliloquy
susurrus
serrating
silence
no words
no words
to describe
anything
at all
thoughts
morphing into
kaleidoscopic
colours
expanding swirls
like
distant
galaxies
then
explode and
a million million
particles
blast towards
the
vortex
of
no words
no words
the East
breaks open
ripping
clouds apart
tall grass
now seen
weaving
is
set on
fire
His glory
glowing
another
day
begun
