Shimmering splendor
Folded against a secret box
Nestled under

Shimmering splendor
Folded against a secret box
Nestled under
Blanketed pine
Planning smiles
Surprise lit faces
Beaming bright as summer
Carefully placed thoughts
Bubble wrapped in the bittersweet
Forgotten for another day
Dust lightly blanketing its resting place…
When I behold you, I see the sun
You’re like the rays beating down on lapping water
Warming the surface and streaming through to caress the coldest depths of my sorrow

Dancing across Earth’s floor
In a crunchy symphony of the changing seasons
We snuggle inside
And give thanks to all
Blessed with another year
And those we hold dear
Coffee a-brew
Paired with sweets and snacks galore
Larger than our stomachs
We’re walking through that door
to fingers, ears to nose
warmth radia-ati-ating, placating every woe
Wrapping like a hug around us
That tug on the heart, pitter patter…
