Christmas Wish

A rooted dream grows of fruits, lingering inside

This holiday: a hope to quiet the dismal cries.

Still, a bigger desire dares surface to invade,

Love and peace for all, in this world we have made.

**********************************************

Starry skies on a cold winter’s night connect

Youthful memories the heart’s mind collects

In streams of true holiday themed souvenirs,

Our dreams begin glowing like stars ever near.

*

Lights twinkle akin to joy's mirth everywhere

Despite the frosty chill found in the heavy air

Hot chocolate, songs, and warm hearts provide

A birth of true love in a feast no longer denied.

*

The sound of children’s laughter takes flight

Drifting ’cross light blankets of snow so white,

Bells ring, cascading to the moonlight’s height

To proclaim peace, altering man's dimming plight.

*

Minds and hearts unite as one, eager to release

The long-awaited presence of resounding peace

As enlightenment touches on our revolving souls,

In a fruition of love’s sweet mercy ever extolled.
