The only way I can see you
is through looking glass of time.
Raindrops turn to snowflakes
turn to ice upon the boughs.
No more Christmas letters
or cards to share with you.
Scattered dust of memories
now mixed with winter hues.
Traditions mapped a brilliant past
bringing glistening lights to mind.
Ribbons tied to bows
for no one left to find.
Mercy brings forgiveness
as my heart breaks more in two.
Clasp of necklace wanting
the ring to all as true.
If questions would have answered
all I needed to know;
My life might still be magic
with a heart complete and whole.
I will take a shot of wonder
with this holiday of cheer.
Give a glimmer backward
to when your skin was near.
Tomorrow brings me closer
to a day I cannot feel.
I used to swim in Family Pictures
now wax of time is frozen still.
Words are indeed a window to our heart…..my hope and prayer for you Cindy is that your life will be magic again with a heart complete and whole. Thank you for sharing.
Mike, thank you for your kindness. It means a lot to me. Cindy
I used to swim in Family Pictures
now wax of time is frozen still…….. My dear friend you make me sad. Through your words you may shine again in life nothing is frozen forever . Reach for the light my friend.
Thank you Larry. I hope I find the light in the end. It has certainly been a tough year…Cindy
