Christmas can be a fragile time
When the spirit feels lost in rhyme
Past rhythmic rhymes of loneliness
Christmas shopping is a wish list
Floating somewhere in the mind's mist
The solo lyrics of sadness
Christmas lightings bring fleeting joy
Child longing for a distant toy
Plaintive melody of loveless

This is dedicated to all those who may not know the Spirit of Christmas.
And my dearest wish is that the Spirit of Christmas finds you.
I believe in miracles.

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

a good point - many people will not be celebrating christmas the way we like to think of the festival
a rather strange image but an amazingly perfect poem... form and all.....
I believe in miracles too. That's a realy nice decoration. You know, at first I thought it was someone in a costume.
