My Christmas Thaw

I am thawing out The winter freeze melts like butter From the heart With purpose poised and sung hard From the mettle of my thoughts Resltess as they are This thick impassioned tar Out spouts the plans and desires Out grows the forbearers of time Out and threaded, lived and tethered. Find and feed and fall for others. On this blistered, frigid Christmas, Move and make your wishes welt As worn and weary as they are. Restless as they are Make loose the mind's murky tar. And start a new fire for all to see. Make it burn bright into the night Against the maple of the trees, Against the faces of belief.
