The Christmas Card

I climbed inside a Christmas card that sat upon my sil a magic scene of a winter's eve a house next to a mill The sky ws black with a crystal moon that sent an eerie glow and shone a light as bright as day upon the silent snow I walked along a babbling creek beneath a shroud of white which sparkled in the frigid air like diamonds in the night Despite the cold I felt no pain as I trod the frozen path and through the frosty evening air I heard a child laugh My ears beheld a pealing bell from a tiny church's steeple as slowly walking up the stairs came the village people An evergreen in the small town square grew jewels upon it's limbs as joyfully in the silent night I heard the Christmas hymns Rhinestone stars did shine on high behind the towering hill with wonder did they touch my heart my senses did they fill I stood in wonder at the sight as a tear rolled from my eye how wondrous was this Christmas Eve as morning waited nigh I turned back to the portal of Christmas yet to be the ticking clock upon my wall my twinkling silver tree My journey to another time will stay throughout the year as other cards are gone and lost this one I'll cherish dear
