Feeling Christmas



With
Silent Night
playing gently in
the background, I sit and think.
Back to yesteryear when I was young.
Back to yesteryear when I saw the magic in everything
Back to yesteryear when all of the days were long.
Back to yesteryear when I’d feel excited about almost anything.
Back to yesteryear when I’d sit and think with Silent Night playing gently in the
background.
Feeling excited.
Feeling the magic.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.

    Really rather beautiful, Tom. I feel exactly the same. Christmas enchantment hangs somewhere in our imagination…

    The biggest change from THEN to NOW . . . Christmas used to take FOREVER to arrive as I eyed the presents under the tree. Now I’ve barely packed away the decorations when it’s time to unpack them again. 😀

    Beautiful post.

    Love the poetry and the tree image you sculpted. Fabulous on both counts, Tom. Hard to do and point your point across. Nice aristry.
