Sing Out of Christmas Day 10

once a year
they come out of the boxes
the chachkies,
the trinkets, the Hallmark
Christmas foxes

their purpose
their meaning
their reason for being
to celebrate the One
at the center of time,
the Word,
the I AM,
the Lion,
the Lamb

they sing out
of Christmas
with the lights,
the tree, and
the stockings
then it’s back
for a year
in the cellar
Christmas boxes
