Places
Touched by Christmas Graces
Sierra
JulyEvery ornament made her think of places
Imagined and visited made profound
All parts of land touched by Christmas's graces
Gold: all things the sun licked and tanned
Silver: like metal from the ground
Red: canyon dirt upon her hand
Blue: where abundant life near water is found
More radiant colors than she could name
Made her heart feel just the same
Poet's
Notes: This is a poem inspired by the simple act of Christmas
decorating. A lot of ornaments that go on the family tree have their meanings
and memories. This poem is a story of non-specific memories evoked by the
subject of places around the Earth represented by colors where people such as she
may be hanging their ornaments. It's meant to capture the unity and joy for
which the holidays are known.
