Notes About The Poem
Constance La France's Contest...11 Dec 25... ' 'Christmas always equally honors the beauty of rebirth and the glory of love's remains ' ~ by poet Prompt chosen: Christmas Nostalgia

Holiday's Reverie

The soft melancholia of frost calls 
   As  eyes poignant carry much reverie,
. I track my sighs, my tears from dim light 
  When longing fondles my threadbare sky --
Mama, Dad, and siblings appear as light
This precious grace  blazing on Christmas time ;

  While remaining kin whispers
Of past bliss __ pecan pies baked to thrill,
  Gifts hidden from Dad's  red sack __
The  hope of winter's tender embrace
 endures remnants from angst's prowl ...
      yet kindly released through candles lit
  For each beloved one  'neath our old tree.
.
Somehow, new stars roam to unfold 
   the treasure of calm and joyful musings-
 Strengthened by sweet glory of 
  their light filtering through...a Yule  ever warm.
