All Is Well
A Poem for Christmas
December 16, 2021
All Is Well
AEB
At the gate
A blanket sits
Of powder white
And sparkles such
In the path
The garden sleeps
Tucked in frost
To rest for the year
The door awaits
Coated in ice dripped sickles
With subtle chats
Heard behind
Opened to a world
Of laughter and joy
Met with faces
That welcome you home
The warm air dwells
In your soul
With the fire crackles
Like charming symphonies
The smell of sweets
Decorate the hall
Making the colors
A little more vibrant
The greens and silvers
Mingle with red and white
Like a conversation
Of familiar tastes
The tree lights the room
As the glow from the fire
Lay the quilt of tradition
Sewn together by time
The frost is outside
The warmth is otherworldly
Like a cosmic hug
Of all being right in the moment
The feast is set
The gifts are served
The candles lit
As the words fly out
They fill the room
With various beliefs
And all end
As one harmony
The dying flames
Let the room simmer
As they once and for all
Have love for dinner
