85. Snow

1 0 0
                                    

The branches have traded

Their leaves for white sleeves

All warm blooded creatures

Make ghosts as they breathe

Scarves are wrapped tightly

Like gifts under trees

Christmas lights tangle in knots annually

All family's huddle closely

Betting warmth against the cold

All the bruises seem to surface

Like mud beneath the snow

So we sing carols softly

As sweet as we know

A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go

Like young love still waiting under mistletoe

Well welcome December with tireless hope

Little bells keep on ringing

Making angels in the snow

And may the melody disarm us

When the cracks begin to show

Like the petals in our pockets

May we remember who we are

Unconditionally cared for

By those who share our broken hearts

The table is set and our glasses are full

The pieces go missing

May we still feel whole

We'll build new traditions in place of the old

'Cause life without revision will silence our souls

Let the bells keep on ringing

Making angels in the snow

May the melody surround us

When the cracks begin to show

Like the petals in our pockets

May we remember who we are

Unconditionally cared for

By those who share our broken hearts

As gentle as feathers

The snow piles high

Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time

Like fresh plates and clean slates

Our future is white

New Years resolutions are reset tonight
