Midnight
black Friday
turkey burping
tryptophan tornado
red ink

Church bells
echoing
remembrances
disturb the secular -
rebirth

Foster
 family
 festivities 
 making each holiday

 Our gifts

 but fostered love
 will bind us together

Battered for the last time

Parols
wrapped in gold ,
adorn a church
like tiaras forming
Starlight

Blessings
flame lanterns,
kindling year's dreams
as Manger Babe ushers
Christmas!

family time
delicious food, laughter

solitude
meager fare left
soon they'll come home again

Heart’s Choice

Caged love’s
opened door
invisible
bonds that hold you within
engaged

Freedom
in heart’s grasp
compulsory
need to be loved in turn
entraps

Released,
loving self
empowering
the heart that lives within
set free

Away
From sunshine
And scorching sand
Thirsty; seeking refuge 
From heat

Flying
In earnest
To mountain slopes
In green; breathing the cool
Fresh air

Tranquil
holidays
Avoiding stress
while pocketbooks are stretched
Desired

Lost are
the reasons
Gifting frenzies
trying to top last year
Engorged
