out of dark old boxes

an added "attic Christmas"

and then what we do every year
DSC_0023
and whatever that feeling is
that you hope for as you hustle and bustle
and prepare for another Christmas again this year

the perfect feeling that 'is Christmas'
that somehow I feel I might miss this year

I finally....... feel

in an unfamiliar church
visited by us this very first time
so we might be together
this Christmas eve night

as the first notes of
"Oh come, all ye faithful"
strain thru an old organ

being played in stocking feet with a hole in the heel
