The Glow – #TBT

.

The Holidays are a splendid time of year, filled with cheer, giving, kindness and benevolence we might otherwise neglect to employ; yet, it is also a time of year when many look through the glitter and sparkle and see only shadows of what used to be. Memories can be a funny thing. Though they are of happy hours, they can make us sad; and although they are of joyful moments, they can bring us tears. This holiday season I find myself understanding these conundrums more than ever before as I look around my festively decorated home and find myself missing one who loved this season of the year more than any other. I sit quietly staring at the place she used to sit and long to hear her laughter ringing through the house once more.

Nevertheless, she would Never want me to be sad and she would not want one sparkling, shining moment of this Blessed Season to find diminishment, particularly in missing her. She is near in ever glittering ornament on the tree and through ever gladsome song; she smiles through the glow, a sweet reflection of the radiance of Heaven touching my quiet world; and in these few days when I prepare in my heart, as well as my kitchen, for the coming of the Reason for the Season, I must remember that she is amidst THAT Joy and Love, which came down to Earth. How can I be sad about that?

Now, you may have other beliefs and you may not entirely agree, but when Love sits smiling upon us from a better, happier, more peaceful place; should we not pause to smile back? Perhaps if we did, the darkness of this world would be a bit brighter; perhaps it might glitter and sparkle like the lights of our countless holiday ornamentation shining out into the bleak winter night; perhaps to draw those lingering in the shadows into the light, if even for a moment, to bask in the glow and share a contented sigh. Perhaps by reaching out to offer a glimmering moment of holiday cheer to someone who might otherwise find no pleasure in the season, we might make that glow all the brighter?

May The Glow of the Season Reach out to you through the darkness and fill your quiet world or rush and bustle with Peace and Joy! Happy Christmas!

Faded – #TheDailyPost #WritingPrompt

.

Whispers tell a Forgotten tale

of Memory standing on broken shale;

Hollow pieces of transparent gold

Scattered and Tarnished, though rarely sold

As the Faded echo replays in the mind,

Treacherous, heartbreaking, yet delicately kind.

The Whispers speaks of Unspoken Circumspection,

The Mirror’s prophesying reflection

From times long past and times untended,

Through millennia of Faded lives, not befriended;

Whispers Reminding what Lives long unspoken,

That hearts are Fragile and not trivial token

To be cruelly displaced or disremembered

With Faded Hopes and Faith not engendered.

The Whispers are shouting for us to Hear

Faded Lives are Treasure to be Cherished dear,

Yet only when Memory Heeds the forgotten tale

Of Faded History, Tenacious and Frail.

Refuge – #RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry

The Soft sound of His Breath

Whispers Delicately infused in Whispers

The Light Shiver of His Touch

Sighs subtly imbued in Sighs

The Tender Embrace of His Love

Unspoken Treasure lilting Unspoken

Refuge of Thunderous Pleasure

Singing Quietly

Will You? – #RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry

.

Will You Hold my Hand

As the Night closes in?

Will You Linger Close

If the Tremors Begin?

Will You Watch with me

Until the Fear is Gone?

Will You Draw me Close,

Holding me until Dawn?

Will You Look into my

Uncertain Gaze and See?

Will You Search my Frightened

Heart For Me?

Will You Stand by me

Through Tempest and Storm?

Will You Smile with me

When the Days are Warm?

Will You Allow me to Love You

With my Entire Soul?

Will You Trust that Love

Shall make us Both Whole?

Will You Walk with me

Into the Future with Surety?

Will You Protect me when

I Need Security?

Will You Love me As I

Dream that You Will?

Will You Permit Love

To Bless and Fulfill?

Will You Allow me to Love You

In Equal Measure?

Will You Open Your Heart to

This Unconditional Treasure?
