"Possessed by Christmas"

- by Phyllis P. Colucci
aka "FictionTarot"

Christmas carols, holly bells

     Angels’ breath and blissful spells

Pine cone wreaths and blue spruce trees

     Mistletoe and winter’s freeze

Spirit magic, St. Nick’s smile

     Chestnuts roasting in old-world style

The air is crisp, the snow is white

     Peace in its glory to all’s delight

Heaven whispers from its celestial abode

     Emotions heightened, hearts explode

Love rides in on a rolling cloud

     Skies open wide, stars twinkle proud

People nestled in fur-lined wear

     Strolling arm in arm with enchanted stare

The world possessed by Noel’s magic

     Children beaming, life less tragic

Horse-drawn carriages glide through the park

     Enchanted lovers snuggle after dark

The light of the moon ignites the snow

     Those lovers gleam with the Season’s glow

Morning arrives with sunlit grin

     Strangers suddenly become our kin

Delighted animals frolic about

     The backyard cat purrs with frozen snout

The snow, the ice the great big chill

     Christmas magic – what a thrill !

Deer peek out from behind a tree

     The earth is calm, the world is free

Tranquil moments through Christmas season

     Charmed hope has met with reason

Holiday lights, store windows aglow

     Shoppers bustling; kiddies in tow

Candles flicker in every home

     Snowmen are built, snowballs are thrown

Such wondrous joy has settled in

     Christmas arrives – an ethereal win!
