Christmas Lights

Burnt out bulbs
dark windows
a stillness
I wait
	wait	
			wait
nothing moves
	nothing matters

I live in dreams
	where he talks to me

Christmas isn't a happy time for many folk behind the sparkly lights there is much darkness and sadness - a poignant piece my friend. hugs Jan xx

Arthur, this has a stunning impact. We live in difficult times, but we know in our hearts that when we have friends, help others, and have a general direction for doing good; then we have a satisfying and happy existence. I hope you are well and feeling good. The lights and window displays pale in terms of the importance of having a valid dream!
