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
