AWAITING CHRISTMAS

Folder: 
JOURNAL#30

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....
