Blessed be the flowers

Of the Winter Womb,

Brightening up a bleak, bare walk

Or a darkened, dismal room.

The winter moon through bare branches

Grace of God

For giving me

Beneath this barren tree,

A purple hopeful metallic sheen,

A Callicarpa bloom.

A powder pink Viburnum ~

No tempest born nor Autumn storm

Could turn her merry petals

To fallen, short and soon.

Grateful for the Hollyโ€™s blood,

Red among its spiky studs.

And thank you for the sunny, happy Aconites

Coming into bud

As I stroll along a well-worn path

Beside the waterfront,

Below the crescent Moon…

Christmas at Harewood House

In Love&Light, FS XOX
