Merry Christmas

 

time is blurry. years haze into each other. events seem to protrude, to dance, to chime. many kids are up, conscious, alert. today is a miracle, especially, with the present danger. parents are with joy. most are scrambling eggs, eating fruits, buttering toast. the pain in the joy, to see a future, colored by human chaos. the beauty in the beast—the gorgeous physique—the things we tolerate. gifts held to heart. sentiments bringing a tear. people that had to go. little ones just walking, born to something unfit, faced by tomorrow. early morning mating, tossed into emotion, simultaneous holidays.     may days be brilliant, filled with luxuries, filled with human affection. let it be gentle, relaxed, complete. let souls fly, redemption flourish, inner revelation becomes peace.
