A Light in the Night

xmaslight

The lights come with the season;

Basic, More, Extraordinary.

Each year there is a new story;

Time, Effort, Exhaustion.

Their beauty inspires;

Wonder, Intrigue, Awe.

In the end;

Hope, Love, Contentment.

If only for the moment.

How It Burns

Burning Dandelion1

Common, oft forgotten

forever vilified.

Never invited, always multiplying,

The bane of the surrounding beauty.

As destructive as beautiful,

Intended; not; encompassing.

Immeasurable damage.

Awe inspiring.

Combined they strengthen,

Previous potential never seen,

An everlasting imprint.

Gone

Gone is the vibrance, all of the color.

Forced out permanently; the rust has taken

over.

The buildings all lay vacant.

No more energy, hard work or sweat.

The men have to leave, not given any choice or

option.

Where will they go?

How will the whole continue to survive,

Without the middle?

Let sleeping dogs lie

Momentary peace, momentary silence

Not a single bark or howl to be heard,

It is a time for reflection.

Companionship, frustration

Love, annoyance, comfort.

A partner in crime,

Who never fails to bring a smile.

Unconditional,

Undying,

A partner in life.
