CONGRATULATIONS to Larry for his winning entry, "A Star" in our eighth annual Mosaic Musings Holiday Classic! May your holidays always be memorable ... Reindeer.gif

A Star

The firelight from the hearth reflects
on tinseled tree aglitter with
small twinkling ornaments. Projects
the essence of a garnered myth
which lends no grace; no love or peace
to those in need, without a prayer.
No rescue from the cold, surcease
from widened need to give and share.

As choirs sing carols in the night
of precious babe, a star and kings;
a weeping mother knows the plight
of starving child. Her vigil brings
no solace. Tears, her visage mar,
illuminated by a star.


WELL DONE LARRY! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL THE YEAR THROUGH!

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
