Christmas-eve walk! (2022)
Night
had overcome the day in their relentless game-of-tag
Diamond-twinkles
starred yonder canopy black-abyss flag
Streetlights
glowed “full moon” fog-haze eerie
early chill eve
Nature-choreographed
snowflakes danced no offered reprieve
An
errant cold-slip icy breached a void down a tender neck
Brrr! A shiver! Pull
tight the hood against wet snow-fleck
’Tis
ole Christmas Eve! Alleluia! May the merriment begin!
Seems
festivities reign since last! Would such be an evil sin?
Time-through-space
enough to tally myriad sacred-holy “Good”!
Count
celestial Blessings offered-garnered
ever-Thankful! I-could!
Tally
focused-Love event-adventures truly
appreciated! I-should!
Embrace
Justice!-Truth! For all it’s simple-final worth! I-would!
Main
street glitter-gleams a sparkle-light show Red!
White! & Blue!
I
silent pray: Thanksgiving! Lord!
Cherish worthy-value Love I knew!
Fountain-square
alive with moving lights resplendent fashion-waterfall
Couples!
Families! Carolers! Listen! Hear His Communion-Angel call?
Yonder!-view! In
snow-thrill sky a red sleigh and eight tiny reindeer!
And,
Oh! My!---Dear Santa Claus!...Onlookers give a hearty Cheer!
That
I might remember child Christmas-Fantasy! My-Treasure!
Somewhere(?)
Innocent-lexicon vacated “Youth!” Poor-Measure!
Ah!-Ha! I fooled
sophisticated-“adults”! I never left!
Pure-Pleasure!
Accumulating
white-drift! I run & slide! Fun-gift
for this child!
Wiped-out!
Face-first! Cold-freeze! GREAT! Wild!
I-Smiled!
Maybe?
Perhaps?---I just can’t be ole Santa
Claus!...I shall effort-try!
And,
join all children Fantasy!---Rainbows! Butterflies!
Unicorns!...to Fly!
Listen! Close! To Innocent-Jesus’ Angels Whisper-wind! Sacred-Peace!
Be
Free! & True! & Love! Soar
cosmos Innocence snow-trace release
Spy
yonder candle-in-the-window---Home!...a
Merry Christmas! Thought!
I
have-been! And am! On the ’morrow-dawn may even be! Love-caught!
Merry
Christmas!
Love, Lady
Candice & the “kid”!
