The lights, they twinkle
Like the stellar scintillation
And the nights, they chill
With disambiguation
Cuz the holiday cheer
Dissipates all fears
As reality looks right
Into your eyes
And remembrance holds
Your mittened hand
While you frolick
In the snow covered
Streets that lead us
Along the wrong directions
But always steer us back
Toward the warmth
Of yesteryear
Where life was so easy
And words flowed
Sweetly
Like a honey glazed river
Slowly trickling
Through your every thought
Snuggling into the shoulder
Of naïveté
Not knowing what the world holds
But hoping for the best
And dancing round the moments
That captured this entirely
When everything was nothing
Where nothing was right now
But together with the music
Made it magic, yes somehow…
