Merry Christmas!!!

Charity begins where interest ends,

Having little interest but in giving,

Removing self from self, that there be space

In which a much-loved guest might feel at home.

So might one find delight, though ravens rend

The unembroidered fabric of one's being:

Miracle of unrequited grace,

A wave of wonder welling up from stone,

Singing as it breaks of selfless grieving.
