CHRISTMAS DUST
STARING AT THE NORTHERN SKIES,
SHIVERING TO THE FROST,
AS BLUE EXPLODING STARS BREAK,
THE CLOUDS INTO DUST.
FIREFLIES FROM A FALLING STAR,
BLINKING ON WINDOWS,
OF LITTLE SLEEPING CHILDREN,
WITH SMALL BALLS OF SNOW.
DREAMING OF KRIS KRINGLE'S SLEIGH,
HIS ELVES AND RAIN DEERS
ACROSS EVERY KINDLED CHIMNEY,
WITH CONFECTION AND GIFTS,
DAY BREAKS AS SMOKEY ROOFTOPS,
FILL CHRISTMAS AIR,
WHILE PARROTS IN THE BACKYARD,
NIBBLE ON OUR PEARS.
CHIRPING OF THE TEMPLE BIRDS,
LITTLE CHRIST IS BORN,
WITH CHORUS ON THE HIGHEST PITCH,
SEVERAL TO COME.
JAKES.
