Two Words
Two words on Christmas morning
No punctuation or cute emojis
Just the simple, seasonal greeting and nothing more
Perhaps, there were watchful eyes nearby
A potential cause for caution, question or inquiry
Perhaps the words were typed in haste, or on the run for fear of forgetting
Before those busy hours and minutes of 'hustle and bustle' ticked by
Seemed puzzling, no outward message on social media
No wishing of festive cheer, or sending love to family and friends from afar
Perhaps you made the long trip in person this year? After all, it has been a year of many 'firsts'
Alas, I should be grateful
Your name and notification brought a smile
Having crossed your mind in that moment
I was thought of
Perhaps missed?
Oh, the truthfulness of that will remain unknown
Still, I ponder
And at the same time, I steer my focus towards my own kinship
And will myself away from what is not mine
Nor ours
