The wonder of Christmas

Look for it

In the halo of light around a candle,

In the shining fairylit face of a toddler,

In the streetlights dancing in the December wind,

In the reflections of a tree, of a tree, of a tree

In the hall mirror, lit simply in white lights.

And in the miraculous red admiral butterfly

Fluttering outside the back door this frosty dawn morning;

Is it, too, looking for the manger?
