Finding Serenity

Decorations hanging, lights and tree A festive home of warmth for me Gratitude is all around But, there is no-one found Lonely thoughts creep in Moving the joy To a far Empty Place Then A note Comes along From another Message in a song Singing only for me Then all special things around Bring new comfort with clarity Our celebration, serenity Heidi Sands 12/12/20 Placed 2nd in the Double Nonet Poetry Contest.

It is the season. I did not do much this year and have enjoyed seeing the scenes in our town what little I have gotten to see them because I did not decorate. Congrats on your winner. Sara

Heidi, Lovely Nonet waiting the miracle of Christmas, a place where all belong. A sweet mistletoe anticipat'd kiss, carolers voices lifted in song. -Richard

Hi Phyllis. I am sorry to hear about the limitations. I know on Thanksgiving here, they advised 'no-one' to go to other homes. It is sad. Thank you for your kind comment. I wish you a Merry Christmas :)
