When everyone had gone
I sat in the library
With the small silent tree,
She and I alone.
How softly she shone!
And for the first time then
For the first time this year,
I felt reborn again,
I knew love's presence near.

That's so lovely, Audrey - thank you for sharing it, and an early Merry Christmas!
Thank you Audrey, that is lovely.
I love the peace of this poem, and the way that I can relate to quiet...alone..."the small silent tree". Sometimes it feels like there's too much Christmas (expectations? decorations? noise?) when I far prefer the peaceful aspect, the humbleness of a manger and the solitude of the star.
Love your ornaments adorning this post, too. xo
Beautiful - both poem and image!
This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, with just the right amount of 'quiet solitude'. :)
