"Advent" No light into my window shines On this, a night long thought divine Just shadows streaming slowly in Imbuing heart and somber mind No magic holds this night for me No miracles, just apathy And mem'ries buried long ago Now rancid in their stagnancy I gaze from out my window cold And pray a bit of light takes hold To fill my heavy heart with joy Relieving me of sorrows old Yet cold and lifeless are the stars That mar the satin night like scars And offer not a glint of hope To ease these weary souls of ours AMdG December 24, 2008 "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |

This was absolutely gorgeous. I could feel the cold and visualize a person at a window... |

Look once again! Every single star twinkles just for you, they say "please allow us to brighten your nights and to plant hope into your heart!". Give that sorrow from the past some rest and open your eyes to the promising NOW. You have the choice. Well written melancholy, dear Arius. Love and Light. Margherita  |

Thanks for all the comments you guys, I'm really glad you like the poem. This time of year always gets me a little bit down, so sorry if this is a bit more somber than some of my other poetry. Thanks again! AMdG "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |
