no sooner than the thought of his arriving soon
he shall be here with me
the heart longs for her lover
though the precise date and hour
have not yet been disclosed
still, how I lean towards that essential
time so near
I am but an adult child waiting
for her most handsome Santa to appear
with his eyes alight with the tree's lovelied
glow
I can imagine his sparkle and laughter
his simple nearness stirring up my senses so
the feel of his solid welcome warmth
bathing me in such a calm, all enfolding love
the tone of his voice like a caress to my so
attuned ear
my love close to me at last
sharing our everything
along side all the beautiful blessings of the
holidays
sweet, sweet CHRISTmas you are a lover's
paradise
in all imaginable and unimaginable ways....
