 To Fill A Bah Humbug HeartWhat enchantment this? A spectacle behind midnight curtains. Rows of dense cookie-cuttered trees Oh, how they quiver and sway Under a freshly sliced white bread moon. Instantly they all begin to shadow dance On newly spread blanketed mounds Of sparkling, freshly made powder-puffs Winter-dusted in her finest sugar.  Silently boughs bend in reverence Honoring their frozen earthen floor, Dusting it ever so gently in whiskery kisses. Then ... slowly they rise so as not to disturb Intricate snowflakes busy resting, As each one reaches out in the hopes of Tickling even just one evening star. I hold in a gasp noticing the unnatural hush As ethereal and almost fairy-like She begins sifting her snow Over all things strewn in her path, Careful not to miss one single branch, Pathway, railing, or rooftop she spies. She always waits until all are asleep, Then on her midnight escapades She begins to try and erase away All the sadness and gray in any soul’s life, Cleansing the night for the morrow. As another new day dawns in dazzling sun Endless diamonds sparkle and dazzle, Trying to fill even the coldest bah humbug heart With joy, laughter and a new sense of wonder. For today, in this one moment in time, At least some sadness, fear, hate or sorrow, Felt an overwhelming sense of renewal, Forgiveness, or understanding, While she can only hope and pray For peace on earth, and good will toward man.  Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. |

Donna, it's funny how just going for a walk or waking up while it is just snowing can lift your spirits up. I have had many a "skimpy holiday" in my life, and found that if I kept my heart close to nature, it always cheered me up. Happy Holidays sweetie. Marge,  I had actually have been saving this one just for you, it is called, "Suede Moon" now that will get your creative juices flowing I bet. I am afraid I don't know who the artist is, but it sure is a "you" graphic isn't it? Help yourself! |

I am delighted you enjoyed this one Kacy, and as the snow fell the other day all I could think of was your love of Alaska, and I thougth how beautiful it would be to see about now. Thank you all for reading this - glad it cheered you or warmed your heart today. |
