Silent Night

Post by chonsigirl »

Final chord vibrates through congregation,

Carol hovers above candles lighted

With peace, haloing inner reflection

Of Christ Child’s birth, with thankfulness granted.

Small hand held close, another Yule bestows

Her love with him, snow’s touch in her tresses

Glimmer from flame hidden in heart he knows,

Time’s specter slowed from ailment’s hiatus.

Perfumed spirals resonate between smiles

They share, before final amen will close

This chapter of their life, entwined with trials

Strengthening their bonds against final foes.

Their silent night sings of hope’s victory,

In worship of Blest Baby’s memory.

***

It is a sonnet, for my friend who will be there next week at Christmas Eve Service. It will probably be her last here on Earth.
