Christmas Eve

In the Now.
Here. And how.
Focus fallow.
Purple mallow.

Green vine searching.
Gold finch perching.
Tiny creature.
Water feature.

Cozy nature
Nomenclature.
Latin botanicals
With my animals,

Mouse and Panzo.
Tutti a pranzo!
We’ll drink to wonder
And living’s thunder.

Today we have it.
Tomorrow’s rabbit
Hole we’ll follow.
Deep, dark winding

Halls are hollow.
Walk with open
Mind fires stoking.
What’s worth keeping.

Light that’s leaping
And landing on this 
Heart shaped lapis lazuli,
plump and porous,

Bleeding casually,
But conducts a chorus
Of happy screaming.
With headlights beaming.

This night to feel
The world’s reveal.
