Christmas Eve ‘75

Rothya James

frosty frisky flake
descends cold
quietly
covers the ground
like brown
cake
with white icing


so enticing
this white linen
day
no great gust
gale
or brandishing bay
just a pale
flush
a sort of silent
whisper woe
a gentle little
snow


spent
on this still eve
next
you
oh yes and dear
I believe
one thing more for
cheer
Merry Christmas too

It take daring to love, Audacity when it's lost Fighting injustice makes you justified, ignoring injustice makes you unjust Men make circle in life and women are at the center To love someone is to surrender yourself and in so doing completes you The beauty of youth is foolishness the beauty of age is reflectiveness the beauty of life is both Women want to be adored men wish to be honored Big ideas can make you heroic small ideas can make you frivolous no ideas can make you invisible Don't fear life, embrace it, shape it and you can form a h eaven A perfect day is rare, and imperfect day strives for perfection Knowing yourself and you can withstand any tragedy, not knowing yourself creates tragedy By Rothya James
