Christmas (Remove filter)

Festive fog

When I was young, it made sense

The lights, the candles, the innocence

Misty eyed, fretting with excitement

I feel like now, I knew what it meant

 

Memories like a radiant dream

With all the colours in a warm stream

Images flicker in the fog of now

Like a scared and lost dessert cow

 

Golden sights and sounds

Chopping Brussles to a ground

Presents wrapped with a...

Every year, around this time

A certain feeling swells of mine

Like a rugby ball stuck in the gut

People, cars and dogs

Streaming through a yellow fog

Christmas fairs and hot chocolate

A warmth and love now forgot

No tinsel or snow

No time to let go

Too tired and small

No feeling at all

 

They say he’ll be here soon enough

Yet time will soon have had enough

But we must be ready and not wither

The time is now, we must deliver

 

Yet who will come I ask?
