The Day Before Christmas (a poem)

Reposted from last year in the spirit of the season :)

Have a wonderful, warm, merry, happy Christmas

XOXO

A Muse's Christmas Wish
1 day before Christmas and all through the house
not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
the muse was alone with her laptop and TV
while visions of poetry and love did she breathe

On Saturday she lit all her candles and prayed
"Santa i stopped believing long ago,
it seems like forever and a day"
quietly whispering in the hopes she would be heard
her prayer offered up softly, every single word

"but this season dear Santa as I spend it alone
I pray and I wish for a love all my own
I don't know what I have to possibly offer
But I'll do my best and together we'll prosper

If someone would just look at the heart that is me
They will know true love and forever be free
So this season dear Santa while the wind outside screams
I implore you to please give me the love of my dreams"

with that she closed her eyes full of intent
knowing her heart's message swiftly was sent
cookies and milk she laid out in tradition
and went back to writing with earnest fruition

but quietly in the back of this gentle muses mind,
she still hopes and prays for guidance divine...

~*~

The message of this poem is abundantly clear
Listen with your heart for you will hold it dear
Quite simply...remember no matter the age
traditions and fairy tales exist to this day
who knows whether or not you will enjoy fun new toys
but share love this season and you WILL know joy...
