Angels in the Snow

Angels in the Snow

A Poem by dan
"

Snowy Christmas scene, kids bundled up...mittens, scarves...they fall to the ground, giggling...flapping arms and scissoring legs...one most enduring symbol of Christmas: Angels in the Snow

"

Poets writing presents under wordless

Christmas trees,

Children stringing tinsel on their

Future memories.

Candles burning amber under wreaths of

Whispered joy,

Smiles and tears stand huddled ‘round a

Manger and a Boy.

 

Gath’ring ‘round your loved ones brings a

Sparkle to your eyes,

Peace and love embrace you as the

Choirs harmonize.

Tender warmth and wishes follow

Everywhere you go…

Lighted by the guidance of the

Angels in the Snow.

This is just so simple, yet so brilliant. I just loved the constant flow of this poem Dan, and even though I've never seen a white christmas, you have given me a clear image of what it must be like. Thank you very much for this one.

You and Dee collaborate so well. The opening line of this just grabbed me. Perhaps it's because I'm a poet too, or try too be..Lol. But it's full of all the things that make Christmas, Christmas in my heart
. Maybe it's a strange to read Christmas poetry in January, but sometimes we need to be reminded to keep the spirit following all year.
Btw- have you ever seen Trans Siberian in concert. Awesome and a Christmas present in itself.

Dan, this read with all the warmth and melancholy of a Hallmark greeting card...or one of those teary-eyed commercials you see this time of year! And Dee co-wrote it...how wonderful a collaboration!

How I wish I could make one! ; (

Hi Dan, you evoke the Christmas ambiance very well in this poem. You master the language in a way I could never do like in "Children stringing tinsel on their Future memories."

You are able to make it work around the image of angels in the snow. Love it.
