Christmas Between Us Is Innocent


As I remember
some other Christmas,
tonight falling once
for us by the hearth,
your coming only

the snow had felt,
how you entered
my lifetime with
childhood love,

Winter's first~
verses in 
aged kindling;

how the
staid fire's

long

Indeed, Paige. The most memorable experiences are the ones you make while you're young and innocent.

Dear Paige, OH, how I love how you're remembering an innocent love at Christmas, where snow, fire, and memory intertwine to evoke warmth, nostalgia, and the fragile beauty of presence. Beautiful! Autumn Blessings, Dear Paige, Daniel

Ah, dear Paige, your Christmas reverie is breathtaking. Your closing lines are poignant poetic perfection. Such a moving reminiscent piece created in lovely form. What happened to your other poems? Warmest wishes my gifted poet friend.. ~Susan

Thanks. I am going to post new poems and refine old ones. Some I felt I could make better. Thanks for missing me. I have felt a shift in my voice. We'll see... <3 :)

Paige, I’m so happy you’re still here. If you left this site, the immense loss of your gifted poetic voice and lovely friendship would be deeply felt by myself and many others here. I hope and wish that you would repost all your poetry here once again. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, my wonderful poet friend.. ~Susan

I was going to leave PoetrySoup, but I could not stand it. I felt lost and alone without being here. That is why I deleted my poetry- thanks for asking. <3
