Spirits of Christmas Past
The tree stands,
ornament glass
all about the base.
Haunted by people
who are all gone away,
cobwebs draped as
tinsel used to hang.
Soft carols drift on the breeze,
bringing back dreams of yesterday.
Warmth returning from buried remnants
of family memories to color the tree.
For a moment Christmas spirit lives again.
Tears wash away
the warmth brought on,
By the momentary
visit with the ghosts
of Christmas past.
A lovely nostalgic piece Pattie with a grand finale…
“Tears wash away
the warmth brought on,
By the momentary
visit with the ghosts
of Christmas past.”
Thank you.
