A repost .. The day before Christmas..a poem?

Your wish

if only for one

came true

It was worth the wish.

Memories anew

no gathering of past

this first year

all askew

Alone in a cabin blending in the woods

a conflicted woman is misunderstood.

So many questions about her loves;

creating a distance from the fire within.

She is happy to be sitting alone

listening to her dog chewing on a bone.

One love persuaded her to cancel her flight;

but the other love kept driving through the night.

Two lovers who have yet to meet face to face

shared comforting words driving through the night.

"Merry Christmas" was spoken with such tender grace;

in their own little world on two different roads they carry within a bright glistening light.

All others were home with family and friends,

but no one who they belonged too bothered to call.

Invisible to many, but not followers of trends,

Compassionate and playful these two build no wall.

Knowing their friends feel like home,

these lovers still desire what they have lacked.

Within themselves they will forever roam, yes they

know where to find home, but together they are always

packed.

Look at the stars shining in the sky

sending messages to all below.

Two spirits always wanted to ask "why",

but their voice was once muted down too low.

Two children chatting now with so much to say;

a cell phone carries messages from here to there.

Singing a familiar mountain song from the day

these two have become one without touching and

in times like these is very rare.

Merry Christmas my friends from far and wide

may your moments give you presence of the here and now.

Roller coasters can be scary, but join me for a ride,

The beauty of the ride is the gift of the WOW!!!

You can almost smell Christmas reading this poem.

Such nice memories of family gatherings and cheer. Reminds me of a long-ago childhood.

Have a great Christmas and a good 2009.

For those that have nothing,

No one to call their own.

No one to share and care for,

No memories of Home.......

Those that this Tomorrow,

Will forget like Yesterday,

May I take this opportunity to say:

To you today,

Whenever your in Darkness,

And feeling all alone,

Wishing for some comfort,

Kind Words,or just a Home.

When you can no longer,

Take another step,

Think that Life is over,

Are troubled with regret.

When you have taken,

All,.. that you can take.

Knowing that Tomorrow,

Will bring you more Heart ache.

Think not of all your sorrows,

Remember, now and then,

For Each and Everyone of you,

There is at least, another ten.

Round each and every corner,

There is someone their that cares,

Someone to give you Warmth,

With a moment to be shared.

Someone is always ready,

To shake you by the hand,

Wrap their arm around you,

Give a moment of their time.

So in your Darkest hour,

Keep searching for the light,

Mine is ever on, and I am with you,

All.......This Night.

Thank you for your inspiration, Nymph.
