Summer has come and gone
Oh why has the sultry breezes
Blown through my hair
Only to leave a soft haunting caress?
My bare feet long to feel the
Warmth of the gritty sand
Memories trail between
Cold water and hot concrete
In stead of the distant sunny rays
Lies the brittle aroma of autumn
Leaves the color of rusted metal
Dance happily along the driveway
Winter billows in the clouds above
Casting gray shades of mellow temperament
I hold out my hands, close my eyes
And I dream
Geometric shapes of melteable lace
Fall upon my cheeks shaded with fuchsia
And suddenly I'm withdrawn into nostalgia
Of Christmas and sweet aromas
Oh hello wintry days and romantic nights
How I've wondered how you were
And here we're to start again
To attract the memories of holidays
So I stand, below Father Christmas himself,
Smiling towards his grandeur
"Thank you for your gifts of white and blue"
Merry Turkey Day, Merry Christmas |
