This season,
of hollow words that have
spent hours looking for
reason to be home,
of nocturnal diaries
written in script
covered with tears
that pass for healing.
This season,
I have heard of angels
that whisper in the trees
their solemn vows,
which, when one wants
can control the pain
of a heaven lost
and new one found.
This season,
my trembling hands forgive
my heart that shakes
and falters,
for once I see me
nothing more than man
turned upright
to view the passing day.
This season,
I wonder if Clarke will be right
his visions come true
though none morning light,
and tread slowly upon my soul
that whispers gently to the wind
of memories I have to hold
and crystal tears to fall again.

if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know

this is special, and quietly beautiful...I feel as if I have trespassed on the quietest of moments...

This is a wonderful piece, reminding us that the holiday season can be more than what most people think. Thanks for sharing.
