Notice the Spirit of God, it is being awakened in us for Christmas...
by Peter Menkin
The vision on awakening
during morningtime, blue sky
white flower sky
painting tree
with creation reality.
This great experience
of the spirit;
the new life of incarnate God -- the Christ.
"I in them and they in me,
that they may be perfectly one."
Advent days; come Lord.
Winter light hours beckon.
The poinsettias red leaves.

O come thou Wisdom from on high,/who orderest all things mightily;/to us the path of knowledge show,/and teach us in her ways to go.
My poem from 2001:
