Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The colors replaced
the browns, the yellows,
the autumn, earthy
harvest decorations
giving way, changing
to the greens and reds,
burgundies, forest greens
the purple and the gold
Advent transforming the church
memories in opening the boxes
the ribbons, garlands, the fabrics
decorations, of long ago
all brought out, used
adorning the church
with Advent finery
preparing the symbol
this body of Christ
for the season
waiting for the Christ child
that blessed Christmas day
