“Merry Christmas With Love”

She leaned with her head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago.

When children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around.

This year there’s no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made it’s way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing.

Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love.

Carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound.

Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found her self singing along.

Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

“God Bless Us… Everyone.”

                        Midnight Clear

 

Evergreen branches

Strength quavering

Heavy white blankets keep them

Still and cold.

Ink black skies with

Icy white stars

Shining, smiling at the

Frosty earth below.

And in the East

A star glows brightly

A dying sun,

Unfading…

Never waning…

Holding on to the

Clear, crisp night,

Watching, waiting,

Anticipating.

All at once, commotion…

Rapid emotion…

A star in the heavens

Falls slowly to the ground…

Once upon a midnight clear,

The snow fell gently down.

“And a sound filled the night
in the cold winter air,
and in the midst of his flight it was holding him there.
And as he looked towards the earth
for the source of the sound,
on that cold winter’s night…
It was pulling him down…”
~Trans-Siberian Orchestra~

I’m currently in Creative Writing Club… Full of a bunch of scary upperclassmen who don’t like freshmen, and psycho other people who scream at you if there is not complete silence during the free write period.

What Fun!

It has been such a dull day… It’s December, and I live in Ohio… what can you conclude from that?

Oh, maybe that… WE’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SNOW!

The tempurature will be reaching in the 60’s during the week…
Me No Likey.
But, I will grit my teeth and live with it, because I wil not make the people around me miserable by complaining.

I also entered our local library’s teen writing contest.

Results don’t come out till March.
GAAAAAAAAH!
Once again, I shall survive.

“Think of all you would have missed
but for the journey there,
and know that the true worth
of your travles lies not in where
you come to be at journey’s end,
But in who you come to be along the way”

Sorry, I was reading an inspirational poster.
Not sure if I’m inspired or not… I’ll get back to you guys.
