Lights in the Winter Darkness
For many of us December is
dark and cold
with the shortest day of the year.
Are we the Christmas lights?
Beautiful to behold but offering no warmth
except in our hearts and minds.
Are we candles, which offer less light and warmth
but can be shared without diminishing the original light?
Are we the December full moon,
offering a lot of brilliance but called the Cold Moon because we offer no warmth?
Are we the Christmas Star
shining brightly and guiding Wise Men to a Savior?
Do each of us light up a life
because we are someone’s Beloved?
Are we light fingered or light minded?

I wish to thank Pat Alderman for her continued support of our magazine, LatinosUSA (English Edition) which is part of MASTICADORES the incredibly unique literary magazine created by Juan Ré, our Editor-in-Chief. Pat’s ability to capture the moment in a creative and poetic manner makes her poetry reach us clearly and directly, which is something we appreciate greatly. So, from us here in Spain, we send a big hug and a big thank you to Pat over there in Virginia.
