Golden Ring

A Christmas Love Poem

Amanda Farrell
Our office has stars on the ceiling

From the dreams of previous tenants,

Which we decided to keep.

Tonight I'm preparing for Christmas

By communing with ghosts, so you've gone

To the other room to read.

I'm thinking of the Son and the Sun,

The holiness of daily routine,

How you circle back to me,

Always. You brought me roses today,

And a giant red poinsettia,

For no occasion, just me.

Yet I close the door to write a poem.
