Holds the electric
Of holiday times
Expectations rise
Shadows subside..
Present moments
Put aside time..
A Starbucks trio
Jovial spirits serve..
Long grocery lines
Are singular meetings..
A basket exchange
In windy parking
Named as win-win..
Bright evening tensions
On those differing
Levels and forms..
This darkened time
Awaiting a morn..
But for now
Hold the tension
And the wonder
Of this Eve..
With her beauty
Her constraining
Joy…
