Jintishi Poem for Christmas
Image created on Canva
A frozen time brings hush and heavy snow
to fall over the silver fir;
to love Christmas, to be snowed up
while singing hymns of faith–
no bees to fly on high, forgotten falls;
sins to be forgiven and
any bush, a snow devil; around
birds’ eyes and chirps, memories
in the tree trunk– love heart;
angels with wings;
the forest green that needs to grow
but is cut down by the blades;
to celebrate the birth of Christ;
to die and to revive;
the wooden cross; the crucifixion;
the winged white angels;
these silences of things and
sacred songs to touch
the core of the heavens,
the stars, and the skies.
