Healing reflection on Christmas Eve - for Alison

first floor room
number on door
- three

for the wise men,
the kings,
the Trinity

such good colour
air filled
with rainbow

for hope,
for healing,
for joy

hawthorn in aura
space clear
- not empty

angels keep watch
at door and windows
wingbeats rhythmic lullabies

i sense an archangel
behind and then
it is within me

i am 10 feet tall
my wings even folded
nudge the walls

and the song
begins to echo
round the room

I am the song
each note vibrates
and sings me into being

and you?
O dear friend
you are the lyre

sweet and pure
my song-self plays you tenderly
draws you into my song

our music
is more
than a hospital

room can hold
it choruses
over the window ledge

and
dances
over
the
street.
