Homesickness of Christmas

The pull is universal.
During Christmas season,
Everyone thinks towards home.
No matter the religion or philosophy,
The homesickness of Christmas is real.
Even forces of nature succumb to that pull.
Lesser duration of sunshine on Christmas,
Even more or less intense
As it seeks the way
Home among the stars.
The moon comes closer home 
To earth, rending full light for gift.
Water vapours come down
Again to their earthly abode
In the form of mist.
All of creation seeking the way home to be reborn.
They learn from the Holy couple,
Seeking homeland so as to give birth to Him.
With that and more I still maintain;
That I shall be home for Christmas.
