On Christmas Morn Copyright © Rod O'Donoghue 2011

The white moon wanes at dawn of winterʼs day
While fairy dust, once sprinkled on the lawn,
Begins to steam and upward wends its way.

my reach for calm and order
before I even greet each waking day

for three months now but still his shadow
dogged the house, appearing at her side

We climbed a hill that perfect summerʼs day
You, head down reading Baudelaire,
Me, all-admiring of your serious literary ways

June. The wheat heavy on the stalk
Grey-green, sea-whispers in the breeze.
Sunlight sweeps across the fields

It is an exceptional day
gentle warm Spring sunshine
new green leaf marvellously apparelling the trees
