A Winter's Dream

A Winter's Dream

A Poem by Fran Marie

 



Christmas tonight wears a gown of white snow
as rising winds play tune in gay delight
a plump moon spotlights her dance from afar
In awe I gaze upon a stellar show
my eyes transfixed by this magical sight 
as midnight skies display fiery stars
 
Ah, in slumber's dream,these visions rewind
to winter's wonderland of Christmas night
suddenly transported to where they are
a mystical flight to a distant time
so far

The traditional imagery was depicted beautifully within the Christmas theme. In some aspects, the detail was simple, but it also maintained classy with additional spice of words. Christmas is personified as an elegant maiden of white; bringing the yule tide spirit of the enchanting holiday. The first stanza portrays Christmas during the time she spends on earth; an unseen epitome of what the celebration represents. Within the second stanza, the first line indicates how the spirit maiden returns each year; "in slumber's dream, these visions rewind." The last few lines suggest that the origin is perhaps an enigma. It is possibly the most appealing because the poem does not concentrate on a particular purpose of the holiday whether it is religious or simply a different meaning. In this manner, it enables the poem to be open ended.

Overall, I found it to be traditional yet it still maintained a free living atmosphere.

Considering the night sky and the stars at Christmas time, I have often imagined I could actually see the Eastern Star...that brightest of all stars that went and stood over the stable in which Jesus was born. I have also often wondered if it really was my imagination. Then I hoped to believe it wasn't. A wonderful write of hope Fran.
