I have
been writing for about a year now-- mostly poetry…
A shorter version of this poem was written last year
(one of my very first) but as I've continued to trust my intuition more and
more, I've found that I was able to expand the initial poem into something
broader and deeper.
Now it better expresses my hopefulness for
experiencing the sacred in ordinary and extra ordinary ways! I hope you
enjoy it.
Snowflake
Christening
new day beckons
replete with infinite rebirth
revealed in
alabaster, snow-capped branches
in a bright, sunlit sky
closing eyes
on a quest
to a raw beauty
that mars.
and human scars
recalling torment
and unveiled suffering...
on timber ascending skyward
a different snow-less day
close them to evict
the outside world
gaze inward!
praising
filling
emptying
there,
an abandoned cradle
desolate and lifeless
a missing Christ Child
not yet resurrected
and yet,
snowflakes
fall afresh
kissing my face
in a christening
of sorts
immersed and washed clean
A smile emerging
as natural
and miraculous
as baby's arrival
into the naked NOW
