i.
white rose in winter
miracles we don’t expect
our God comes to earth
ii.
silent star-filled night
newborn hope envelopes earth
flurries of pure joy.
iii
christmas eve arrives
children with eyes wide-open
stars and midnight blue
– Victoria C. Slotto
The title of this poem comes from a stunning Christmas album by Enya.

Thank you Victoria. This invites the season. It invites the spirit of Christmas. It sees to it that the bleakness moves out.
