Holy Night

Published in “Seasons of Change, Volume X!” and “Storyteller” Magazine.

A lone white candle holds the shrinking flame

That keeps night's darkness from the altar's cross;

A shadow rests behind a silver chalice.

The wind's temperate sighs still whisper heed,

Resembling yesterday's forgotten choirs.

A Bible's closed, too tired to preach; it sleeps,

Collecting dust. The statues seem relaxed

Though they protect the cold and empty pews.

The echoes linger from the Sundays gone

And I feel the peacefulness of God.

A column that regularly appeared in the Los Angeles advertising magazine, "Ad L.A."
