Christmas Red



Life in a huge family is chaotic.

Especially in the holiday bustle,

you have to claim your calm 

where you can find it.






A flutter and glow and jingle

of Christmas red here and there.







Red's not usually 

the calming color, 

like a soothing blue.





But cheerful cherry 

has a certain charm.

Crimson grace,

    I like small snatches, too. Small messages for the soul.
