They are shadows are on the wall
shadows of the years:
Santa Claus
Ebenezer Scrooge
a china doll
butterflies
Desert Rose
a unicorn
a herald angel
and the Star
the others are lost in light
except one red ball
(pomegranate, if you will)
this year's
good cheer
all of them
hanging there
singing
in silence
rising
as shadows
on the wall
darkened
distorted
by distance
52 of them
a year of Christmases
illumined
by memory
casting their spell
with stories they tell
tidings they bear
once a year
evermore
here and there
everywhere
shadows
on the wall
shadows
shadows -
hear them call
hear them
here
