The Belle of Yule

Melani Udaeta

She walked in the natural belle of Yule,

lit up like the glitter upon the trees.

Holding a dove waiting for its release

in her arms the white bird appeared a jewel.

Harmony poured from every molecule,

joy rang in and sang of freedom and peace.

Flying off fingertips into the breeze

its wings carried an iconic symbol.

Encompassing each of the Northern Lights

her smile grew like the return of the Sun.

Sweetening the lips like a candy cane something to believe in rose to new heights.

The journey to warmth and light had begun bringing some hope that all year would remain.
