Poetry Corner: Mary Susan Gast “The Season’s Greetings”

December 22, 2017 by Mary Susan Gast 1 Comment

This is the season
Of riotous angels deranging the skies
With songs of peace and goodwill.

This is the season
When past and present swirl
Like snowflakes blown across time’s boundaries.

This is the season
When little children lead us
Into mystery and clarity.

This is the season
Of dogged hope
That love among us never ends.
