Christmas Flowers




All those words:
hey, welcome, happy Christmas,
we’ve missed you,  wonderful to have you home,
happy new year, I love you.
And the following, inevitable
take care of yourself, safe journey, be safe,
goodbye, we’ll miss you, ring.

Christmas flowers:
the bright blooms with their thorns,
colouring the season, bloom in your heart,
bloom beyond the decorations, into Spring,
and still when shafts of April light are gathering heat;
when  the bright space of Summer is widening around you.
