~~~
My easy-chair steps closer to the hearth
with each passing winter
my ingle-nook ... forestalling isolation and despair
A wisp of smoke
and the gentle song of embers
as flames engulf stale reality
with a golden glow ...

merry voices
from so many years ago

Church-bells chiming faintly
mingle
with the sound of carollers weaving door to door
through the fresh crisp trackless snow
Smiling eyes
singing
hand in hand
warm wishes reaching out
and hugs
before they move on to an ivy'd manor house

Yet
one stayed on to linger ...

one with a face framed by a wreath of flaxen hair
the shyest stare from downcast eyes
cheeks flushed to rose
and a voice
that whispered to the deepest parts

Songbook clutched across a breast
throbbing
to the feathered touch of fairy feet ...

If only you knew
from that moment to this
you would bring to me
and always fulfill
my fondest memories
each fireside
~

If you continue
to think
what you have always thought
you will continue
to get
what you have always got!
