+ 1ST POEMS: January

I once disliked the month of January:

and this I blame on my stupidity---

which I, ignorantly, had allowed to mar

so many blessings that were given me.

In that month comes our Lord's Epiphany

(let doubters silence their shrill perfidy):

the miracle of Jesus' Incarnation,

announced to certain seekers by His Star;

and makes this month wholly extraordinary.

Ephiphany reminds me of Salvation.

Now, decades since, this holy inspiration

must---even moreso---bring my poetry

a deeper sense of prayerful celebration

until I am launched into eternity.

You brought light into the chasm of January with this poetic festival that celebrates everything holy about that month and its monumental significance to you. Looking forward to your unveilings of truth and devotion until, as you strikingly scribed, you are "launched to eternity." A triumphant announcement.
