Snowflake Christening. ~ Anita Brown {Poem}

new day beckons

replete with  infinite rebirth

revealed in

alabaster, snow-capped branches

in a bright, sunlit sky

 

closing eyes

on a quest

to a raw beauty

that mars.

and human scars

recalling torment

and unveiled suffering…

on timber ascending skyward

a different snow-less day

 

close them to evict

the outside world

gaze inward!

praising

filling

emptying

 

there,

an abandoned cradle

desolate and lifeless

a missing Christ Child

not yet resurrected

 

and yet,

snowflakes

fall afresh

kissing my face

in a christening

of sorts

immersed and washed clean

 

a smile emerging

as natural

and miraculous

as baby’s arrival

into the naked now
