Lady Labyrinth Poet Narrative

Short Night of the Dark Christmas

"Short Night of the Dark Christmas"

short night of the dark Christmas
means home alone, for some,
but heck get real, 

no one 
is truly alone, never,
even when reality conspires 

to suggest 
otherwise, 
close your eyes

open your mind
 
one sits with the other 
invisible 
permanent, immovable

the mind mulled again
the externals fixated
titter on 

your mind is closed
to their superfluous noise
yet in touch,  aware 

of higher things

not alone,
no never
alone

inside 
one has to always, 
give - 

happy birthday
dark Christmas
shining star, 

removed. 
aware 
of higher things

“One day, you are going to hug your last hug, 
kiss your last kiss and hear someone’s voice
for the last time.

But you never know when the last time will be,
so live every day as if it were the last time
you will be with the person you love.”



“This Christmas,
we don’t need more stuff.
We need more LOVE 
towards one another.”

It is the period of final "unselfing" and the surrender to the hidden purposes of the divine will. The final stage is union with the object of love, the one Reality, God. Here the self has been permanently established on a transcendental level and liberated for a new purpose." Lady Labyrinth December 13, 2023 at 8:27 PM Short Night of the Dark Christmas.
