Christmas Alone

Buttered pancakes, hot cocoa, cinnamon sticks,
Knitted neck shawls, all buttoned up jackets, "Phew,"
Some are ice skating, or skiing, and sledding,
                    ~~"Ohh Little...," is sung,
Fabric weaves hills of ivory silk frosting,
Spilling streams of cream, pouring milk all astir,
Grizzlies, snoring, un-grizzled hibernal eve,
                    ~~day's sun soon freezes,
Night has fallen ... sleep for some while others aren't,
Stars found a place for dangling nighttime twinkles,
Classic moon balm tryst desires, tarries sunrise,
                    ~~hourglass sands sun soon.

The lil' prince hands then whence I shook, staying at my workplace--wanting to look at S.F. and the Golden Gate from his sweet. I wrote him a tidbit, unsure he read it--secret service, and all. Mahalo on your points-of-view, --William
