You are the spreading tree beneath which I shelter ~ your voices glow Christmas lights on boughs in love’s true season and you sing ballads dear artists so true flying white doves my family of poets divine I wish we could gather by Christmas snow or under my summer’s sun toasting the cheer of good friends and beloved ones together the miles of distance forsaken we could share beneath our tree the telling of hearts entrusting and smiles we’d see glean gifts from a hug felt, not sent through a distant machine My friends my kin I’m inviting you there ‘neath our tree thriving in imagination this Christmas my day will include warm thoughts for you my dearest apart and so far I love you all. Kamla *** (with special dedication to: Liz, Marge, Chris, Scott, Caroline, Michael M, Ruth, Sy, Martie, Michael, Shannon, Denise, Maricarmen, Sharon, Nan, Mirjam and Angela.) ...no longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from, fill your lives with love and bravery and you shall lead lives uncommon... |

So precious this is Kamla, just like you. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Severn - (Kamla) A loving heart as big as yours cannot help but draw ... all the friends who want to come and share in your Christmas Ball. We will join beneath your tree, singing oh, so merrily. Your summer sun could not compare to the warmth your heart does surely wear. If I could sprout wings I'd surely be found beneath your merry tree. We'd love to join you, with songs to sing, gifts of love to share and hugs to bring. Love ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
