Glistening Ornament/ Snow Sleigh Skylight
Kathleen Finn Jordan
Response
Staring at the Christmas tree
eyes full of ornaments elbowing into memory
focusing now on the ruby red image of sleighing days glistening on the extended finger of the giant spruce arm
stretched out to harbor the photo shining from inside the ornament
reminding me of fun filled sleigh rides
beneath the spread of other giant spruces garlanding the winter lodge.
cutter sleighs flying down hills
bathed in snow and shushing to a stop as loved one snaps a photo
trapping one of those ice cold warm heart days that winter brings
locking it into a glass ball image to garland a tree for a later time
in a cozy fireplaced room free of ice and snow but clothed in light
an ice fringed card once opened on snow limmed ground
grandfather of the cards that dress the mantle for this year/
sleighs now under the tree
as rich memories hanging free
and zoom of sled down frosted slope
reminds of youth dipped in joy and hope
now photo shopped on tree branch wide
bringing smiles and sweet remembered glide.
