52 Poem by Frank Avon

52

Rating: 4.5


They are shadows are on the wall
shadows of the years:

Santa Claus
Ebenezer Scrooge
a china doll
butterflies
Desert Rose
a unicorn
a herald angel
and the Star

the others are lost in light

except one red ball
(pomegranate, if you will)
this year's
good cheer

all of them
hanging there
singing
in silence

rising
as shadows
on the wall
darkened
distorted
by distance

52 of them
a year of Christmases
illumined
by memory

casting their spell
with stories they tell
tidings they bear
once a year
evermore

here and there
everywhere

shadows
on the wall
shadows

shadows -

hear them call
hear them
here
