After a long awaited delay in coordinating our five judges and then needing to get a sub (thanks Leo); Wally we hope you are doing well, the winner of our ninth annual Mosaic Musings Holiday Classic has been chosen! A special
 goes out to our judges Bev (Peterpan), Snow (Eisa), Maureen, Sergio (saore) and Leo (Sekhmet). They were tasked with choosing 3 of the submissions they felt best represented the holiday season, allocating 3 points for their top nod, two for second and one for third. It was a very close one in the end, with just a mere point separating 1st and 2nd, and a tie for 3rd! The two third place poems (with 5 points each) are My Xmas Wish List by Rhymer and Birthday by Psyche. The second place poem (with 6 points) is Mother's Side by Larry. And the winning poem (with 7 points) goes to Joyous Light by Cleo_Serapis.    CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners in our ninth annual Mosaic Musings Holiday Classic! May your holidays always be memorable ...  ~MM Staff   Joyous Light Stargazing luminescent skies His powdered dust revealed the wonderment of Winter’s breath dispersed across Fir’s field. Amid tall balsams, there she stood in cloak of glitter gold: a vigil over evening’s glow whose spark tempered the cold. I chose the path less often walked to greet her in the Wood between the pond and Nature’s Kings-- a trip misunderstood. My gift to bring – a treasure trove of ornamental rings were placed upon memorials beholding angel’s wings. A fringe of naked skin soon swept me up from tethered Earth and held me there, caressing love; a spiritual rebirth. Then came a flash of sparkling might: those trees had touched the sky! Star-bursts of light bedecked their tips; red berried lace, oh my! The sentinels rejoiced with me, we shared God’s love that night where souls I hold so dear are safe within His Heaven’s light.
