Best Allegorychristmas Poems
TODAY AND TIME PAST
I feel the wind SWEEP up the brae:
SWEEP I my gaze into far ago.
FAR the stars of Christmas are, long away
CHRISTMAS some two thousand years or so.
YEAR’S darkest evening is here.
HERE is my family - safe from harm.
FAMILY hands reach for the warming fire,
HANDS at travail in this hill farm.
(For Dr. Ram Mehta’s contest CHRISTMAS WREATH)
This Christmas night ignites a feeling:
A feeling of innocence & wonder,
Of magic--of fantasy.
As I gaze upon the Christmas tree
I find that child hidden deep inside.
As I look outside the frosted window,
I peer at the snow covered sky:
Trying to find the wonder I once knew;
Watching as each snowflake drifts down from heaven.
As I lie down to go to sleep
I fantasize of the place I once knew.
A place full of toys & candy:
Of blinking lights & laughter.
My eyes were filled with disbelief,
As Christmas morning came
So went my Christmas dream.
