My poetry went missing,

The selected words

Blended in the white noise

Of yule mules and

Their sleigh bells a bouncing.

Commerce over Christmas,

The ever present threat

Of package over presence.

 

Infuse our giving with life,

Let not our hearts inflate

On front lawns of light.

Guide our hearts to

The hearth of the matter.

Warm us by the fire

Of Your reality,

And give us more than

Peace on earth,

Grant us a piece of

Your heart.

 

Amen.

    Must be mental telepathy. I woke up missing your poetry and here it is. Thank you. Janet

    The best season of the year and we are so easily side tracked. It starts subtly and gradually pulls us in further and further.
    Thanks Jerry.
