one month ends

one month ends
another begins
evergreen branches
frame the night sky

Christmas carnations
in the vase that used to hold
fresh flowers for Mom
blessings each in turn
return to bless us

Icon, image,
Portrait,
Scope.

Substance, promise,
Mirror,
Hope.

Christ holds Love,
Peace, for
All.

Earth, universe,
Palace,
Stall.

The painting and poem are by Charles A. Waugaman (1932 – 2010), from a Christmas card he sent years ago. The date on his card is November 5, 2002.

His poem was published by Time Of Singing, A Journal Of Christian Poetry. Winter 2006/2007.

Blue and turquoise tears
