in a time when days mean more than counting
and counts are ne'er quite done
when meanings leap like words unspoken from canvasses unwritten
in thoughts untouched by mortal tongues unsung

we find ourselves unmeasured and leave our work behind
to sing un-rehearsed a forlorn refrain
to give to those who care far less than thanks-giving thoughts demand
and trade to those who are untracked a measure of the main

as season-lilts waft further down the festive days proclaimed
the smells, the sights, the sounds abound
like grains of sand along a winsome shore
awaiting chosen choruses simply to be found

in a day when times mean more than earthly measures
'tis a day that's set aside, to hold our perfect treasures

Dear Steaven, you have created a profound and wonderful poem here, a treasure in itself.

Every single thought expressed contains a message of light.

It is a keeper!

Love,

Margherita,
you were so very kind in your many compliments...thank you very much

TD,
thank you for your 'stunning' comments...and the 'bump' for a write that seemed to get lost in its own little world

RDB,
