Notes About The Poem

Christmas Morn 2025

All is quiet except for the heat pump pumping some warm air
It is doing the best it can do under the circumstances. 
There is no poetry swimming around in my swimming pool
Nor high stepping through the ruts in my brain
Just lost are the thoughts and imaginations
I know something will happen to awake them once again
A bird in flight
A crow cawing
One deer or a whole herd 
Run out into the road
I or the other person driving
Just barely miss them
Both at the same time 
Say a prayer of thanks
I wonder how many children
Are already jumping for joy
How many are disappointed
How many are still asleep
Christmas morn can go 
So many different ways
How is yours? 
I am wishing you one of the best in your whole life

God bless each and every one
