Holiday Dreaming
Silver tip tree – intense smell of pine
Late December - Christmas time
Red scarf, gloves – boots, trench coat
Holiday music – felt with each note
Steamy eggnog latte - Java cafe
Candy cane martini – made my way
Glitter packages - dog tied with bow
Cinnamon candles- hanging mistletoe
Sugar cookies – stacked to the roof
Coconut bars – suit my sweet tooth
Dreams of a log cabin - snow all around
Fireplace crackling – the only sound
Fog in the distance – beyond the lake
Icicles sparkle – each morning I wake
Published writer – poet; wealthy
Banjo player – thin and healthy
Fresh, crisp, chilly air – visible breath
Having all I need - nothing to dream left
First part is real– second a fantasy
One day perhaps – all will be a reality
