The Gift
by Alisa JsChristmas came early this year
wrapped in a smile and slight trepidation
tenderly delivered, ecstatically received
the universe relented...
and I could barely contain my excitement
as there is nothing more I could ask for than this
wonderful gift from the heart
astounding, and oh, so amazing
swept right through me...
rapture's returned to my soul
notes are unbundled
listen with me as the angels sing,
while I soar

| Posted by A. Paige White on 12/15/07 at 04:23 PM How wonderful! The first stanza is my favorite, just perfect. While I was reading it, it was almost like it hovered over my head as a cloud and sprinkled the same feel good you were describing. Thanks for sharing this! (I experienced this exact feeling from the visit of a dear friend myself night before last, and you wrote about it so much better than my attempt!) |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/17/07 at 06:02 PM Definitely caught my attention. Definitely captures some of Christmas' magic, although I don't see how trepidation and rapture fit into the picture; perhaps some more fleshing out as the idea "hard wires" over time. |
