Warmth inside fades to the cold
Through the open door;
Sun glares on the ice and snow;
Crunching one foot forth
into God's world;
Pulling the scarf across my mouth;
Another glistening world.
Cold wind wraps about me
With wicked arms.
Wet in my eyes goes cold
around my sunglasses.
One slippery step after another.
My old knees creak my walk.
My happy golden charges ahead
plowing a path for me to follow.
Old sun grins upon the earth.

Icy breath escapes his mouth;
No warmth found;
Only cold, dense words,
That make the heart hurt;
The chilled wind cuts not as bad.
Hope it hurts him to say
those things.
Even if it is just the cold wind,
chilling his lungs and beating heart
as he opens his mouth.
Don't be that way.
But so it is,
A chill, for a chill.

Quick daylight leaving;
Tumbling darkness;
Cold wind batters the shutters;
Candle flickers;
Fireplace crackling with bright heat;
Dancing shadows against the walls;
Song of the long night;
Red and green decor;
Women with hoods and gloves;
Druid dream surround;
Met with Christian mood;
Mankind's combination
Of spirit and mystical.
Long night fills the soul.

My Christmas decoration
To adorn my hall;
While the tree lights the den;
The cookies lay upon the plate;
The ribbons scatter on the floor;
Lights glitter about inside and out.
Children run and chatter
about the Christmas cheer.
Angel wings and halo firmly rest
upon the blessed.
The message sent.

Seems like a day to wash away scares;
Seems like a day to relieve cares;
Seems like a day to drift on clouds;
Seems like a possibility;
Just to be, to behave without despair.
A cooling, resting , no care December day.

A space with no relief;
Not there yet;
Not a time to anticipate;
Nothing has the strength to move;
A grey between the floor and ground;
Where shadows hide;
No feeling comes;
How to budge to the glow;
No feeling left except low.
How to feel the life loved.
Just crawling round the grey.

This is such a short bit;
Time swift with wishes;
Never as intense as anticipated;
Just a drift of thought.
Must be more.
Isn't that the promise?
