Future Christmas

Right around the corner of the mind
Where magic forms pure pleasure 
Islands dot the eyes of oceans green
Dreams come up with mystic waves of visions
Perhaps more than eleven months ago
Children thought to make a list of things
Made their wishes for this past Christmas
With no limits to space and time
2017 is up the street in just a minute
Young ones dropped off on city shores 
Not a year away like before
Is it not in view or is it
So far away from us another Christmas
At the door before it's yesterday is finished

The way time flies for me, next Christmas is in view! I loved the images and the cadence of this poem.
