nature’s kiss
silent white
a flight into fantasy
erratic
erotic
unpredictable

calm
within
breath

stimulating
without
exertion

frozen toes
piercing cold
sweltering inside

let
burn control
put
sound on hold

silent white
whispers

wow
new year new moon
breathe rebirth
breathe into new beginnings
exhale past pursuits
that didn’t pan out

let patience be the path

step forward
with integrity

honesty always wins

no side stepping
unless dancing
the night away

feel

in my heart
i shall gather
my family & friends
on this last eve of December
to let them know
i’ll always remember
how important they are to me

though we may
be separated by distance
time or space
i keep each one

the season
of merriment
has arrived once more
the season
that children
wait not so patiently for

the time
when gifting
comes so easily
the time
with friends
and family

no matter
your age
no matter
how you’ve behaved
