The Family Gathering

The Christmas thicket lies within.
I seldom visit,
though sometimes when the hearth is full
of friends and folk
the kitchen helps me lose my self
until, there too, its empty warmth
makes me open wide the door
and feel enough of life brush close
to shadow near upon an oak
an older man, who shares my look.

*grin* it sounds like you found the Christmas Thicket and opened the door to see it. Older or younger it matters not for within your breast is an eternally young beating heart. **hugs** I love it.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
