Christ Must Come

Festivities fire off
and stir us to cheeriness
and hot chocolate.
A loving warmth
of nearness,
peace, and mistletoe
string us as lights
together to ornament
His tree.
Songs of His wounds pierce
the ceilings with red tapestries
that drape to the feet of
rushing shoppers—
stop.
Can we sepa-
rate our Christ-
mas from desserts—and
fast—
from the decorations that hide
the ambiance of glory
personified?
