Listening to every heart

Had it Worked Out

Special moments are memories
Gift wrapped by the Magi’s
Hands alone

Even when paper is next-
Morning tattered, and satin ribbons
Lay in tangle of thought

Special moments can still
Make you have faith
In magic

Was is so many years ago
And that young ago
For a couple sans income

Worried about Christmas,
What to gift
Each other

She, new to the Midwest ~
He thinks her pine eyes
Would sparkle on State Street

They board a day train
To Chicago proper ~
She makes windowpane wishes

On casement dressings and
Santerrific scenes
Wrapped in silken sighs

CA bred, frozen crepe
Whipped and chilled
By Chicago winds

Thin legs exposed
In crystal shard winds
But heart happy

As her one wish
For snow on State street came,
Kissing her eyelashes.

Had it worked out
It would have remained
A Magi story to tell.

This is magic!! Truly. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

As my mother said--"Life is seldom perfect but it does have it's moments."

What a beautiful moment in life!

Love you, Karilea.

A Magi story to tell.

I know exactly what you mean...still, a special moment.  The last 2 verses really tied it together for me.

dreams still work out

at the gym on state street
early mornings
before coffee at starbucks

then they wave at you
as they drive by
in a benz with dark windows

ms shine, you do it baaaad

enjoyed it

Ruminations of the what ifs
always draw the soul to glean
pull forth every bit of precious
the sky in iife can hold

well done
