When Cherubs Flutter Down In darkened room, I turn the switch And stand before the tree; Unbridled halo, of heavenly light Miraculous to see. A tickle on my shoulder Softly ruffling my hair And candlelight starts dancing As golden glitter fills the air. This fairyland, which so few know Eludes both time and space. This simple land of merriment Reflects in a smiling face. My age, it doesn’t matter When cherubs flutter down To the playground of my shoulder Where there are no earthly bounds. Cynthia (A Dove) Proctor |

Welcome to Passions! This was a beautiful poem. It brought an image to mind of a Christmas tree standing in a darkened room, with all the tree lights glowing. Wonderful work! Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

Thank you, Elizabeth. I'm an older person, but still feel that special, child-like magic, when the tree is decked and all lights are out, except the ones on the tree. I wanted to share this feeling with others, through verse. I'm so happy you enjoyed it.  Thank you for commenting.Cynthia (A Dove) Proctor |

Hey this is great!!! I agree with you.....there's a kid in all of us. Unfortunately for me i'm still a kid!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
