Poem
All is beautiful on this Christmas Eve night in my neighborhood Bright colored lights are flickering on many a lovely home Charming and enchanting- it seems a fairyland to me Delicate, fragile snowflakes are falling as I hesitate here and there Engrossed in the beauty, the snow caresses my hair from above Feeling a glow growing within me, I ponder the meaning of Christmas Good thoughts are flowing within and I imagine a baby born, a saviour Heavenly visions of sweet Jesus in a stable lit by a guiding star Inner peace, I embrace as I walk the quiet snowy streets Joy and happiness beyond the doors of these dwellings I pass by, and Kindness abounds at this time of year, I wish that could last all year Love is what I remember at Christmastime . . . Magically, the memories come drifting and I find myself weeping Nirvana is where my family dwells, waiting for me to come one day Open-hearted, I share my sorrow, it drips from my pen Peaceful, oh so peaceful is my wintery world this December night Quietness so deep, I can hear the snow falling on the bare tree branches Respect, I have for nature that can change from beautiful to dangerous Serene lovely scenes quickly become places forbidden Tranquil snow has turned into a blizzard with wild wind Utterly amazed I stand in the storm swirling wondering which way to go Vibrant the lights that still glow on the snow draped dwellings Wonderful they seem to be guiding my way home Xerox copies of Christmas songs twirl past and I try to grasp them Yes, there is my home, all lit up and welcoming me back Zestfully I run up the path to my door, thankful for the fireplace within _______________________ December 24, 2015 Abecedarian For the contest , Christmas Abecedarian, sponsor, Shadow Hamilton First Place
