Notes About The Poem

a quiet carol

ghosts …

of Christmases past
wander through this disconsolate house
weary but hearty hearts that once
thrummed, eager and one
their echoes …
soft-whispering me of what’s
imperfectly precious
then …

and now.

Your family was very fortunate to have been so close knit. Missing our parents is an emptiness nothing can replace.
