Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

The Lights of Christmas

The Lights of Christmas



So like a kaleidoscope, twinkle
this shivery night.
Bringing back memories of past
Christmas Eve delights.

For me, Midnight Mass in Latin
was always said.
Whilst smells of intoxicating incense 
wafted up my head.
                     
My huge family all dressed well
and bowing their heads.
These loving memories now
wrapped in soft velvet,crimson red!

The frost on the windows, the
food tasted as if from heaven.
'Twas almost like a celestial city.
Wrapped in great, golden ribbon!

Always, always in me, the soft lights 
of Christmas forever glow.
Casting rainbow colors on the
mirrored, rainbow snow.

Lindsay Laurie December 1, 2019 at 11:56 PM Hello Panagiota ... sometimes I think the days leading up to Christmas with all the preparation and goodwill is bigger than Christmas Day itself - thank you Panagiota - Lindsay Panagiota Romios December 2, 2019 at 6:33 AM Hi Lindsay! I see your point! We celebrate Christmas unti the first days of January, on the Feast of the Three Kings. The hard part for me is putting the tree and lights away. Such beautiful things. Panagiota xx

M. L. Kiser December 1, 2019 at 9:52 AM Beautiful. I remember the Latin mass, I also remember thinking the language was beautiful though, I doubt that I could sing a song or say a prayer in Latin now, it's been so long since they stopped. Panagiota Romios December 1, 2019 at 10:28 AM If you can pronounce syllables, you can do Latin. I studied Latin four years in HS. And still remember some of the prayers and songs. From Masses,rosaries and prayer books, I still have these books. Nothing as uplifting as Gregorian chant, yes ML was years ago! Thanks for sharing.))) Panagiota xx
