Christmastide

december 25, 2011 at 1:05 e m (Jul)

I.

Once again the curtain rises
Festivities commence the escapist scheme
A child awakens with a tarrying heart
The colors compose the fabric of your dream

II.

Childhood being reborn again
A journey to the realm of innocence
The contentment of the mind
An extension of a joyous presence

III.

Glitter and colors and bright lights
Brighten the landscape of a dark mind
A search for the yuletide that found you
Leaving the cobwebs of normality behind

IV.

The march of the toy soldiers
The flight of the snowman
The soothing tones of Jiminy
And Santa’s phonelines are going warm

V.

Dancing tones are summoned forthwith
Cascading lights and winter lore
Hear the bells and violins calling us
The long wait and a knock on the door

VI.

Under warm lights the celebrator’s enterprise
A feast to strenghten the ties of old
Chocolate gnomes and gingerbread men
Provoking the yuletide magics that unfold

VII.

A new year awaits with the hopeful dawn
The old is celebrated as we bid farewell
Soon the lights of the tree will fade
living in us until Christmastide comes again
