~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunlight reflects over the crumbling tears, Dwindling on heaven, in the naked breeze, Silent Night hummed softly in spellbound ears. Gentle feelings stir in bitter degrees. Assuring spirits of their boundless zeal. Dwindling on heaven, in the naked breeze. Bits of light sing love who night can’t conceal. Suggestions of silence breathe on the soul. Assuring spirits of their boundless zeal. Snowflakes tremble, aching for the ski pole. Echoing on frosty dreams, blue grey grief. Suggestions of silence breathe on the soul. Gentle flurries dance like the falling leaf. Oh, December, where are you taking me? Echoing on frosty dreams, blue grey grief. Christmas stirs peace in hearts, three or thirty. Sunlight reflects over the crumbling tears, Oh, December, where are you taking me? Silent Night hummed softly in spellbound ears.

I loved the words, "Oh December where are you taking me?" Your images captured the cold, magnificent beauty of winter while you were weaving the notion of peace into your message with words like Christmas stirs peace in hearts...whether three or thirty. I do so appreciate your soft yet deep poetic voice. Hope you have a blessed evening, Sara

Everything you've written rings true, Gina. If so many can harness their animosity for a while, shouldn't it be the beginning for them to see how much more peaceful life could be if that mentality lasted for the other eleven months? You've done justice to the thought.
