From the balsam trees
And they... When snow is shaken<br />From the balsam trees<br />And they're cut down<br />And brought into our houses<br /><br />When clustered sparks<br />Of many-colored fire<br />Appear at night<br />In ordinary windows<br /><br />We hear and sing<br />The customary carols<br /><br />They bring us ragged miracles<br />And hay and candles<br />And flowering weeds of poetry<br />That are loved all the more<br />Because they are so common<br /><br />But there are carols<br />That carry phrases<br />Of the haunting music<br />Of the other world<br />A music wild and dangerous<br />As a prophet's message<br /><br />Or the fresh truth of children<br />Who though they come to us<br />From our own bodies<br /><br />Are altogether new<br />With their small limbs<br />And birdlike voices<br /><br />They look at us<br />With their clear eyes<br />And ask the piercing questions<br />God alone can answer.<br /><br />"Noël" by Anne Porter<br /><br />merry xmas, dmfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
