Hide your tears whispers within
Only Christmas cheer has presence here
Osmosis of the season’s joy
Will surely fill your void
Festive lights a blinking
Turkey stuffed amid all the trimmings
Children gleeful Santa’s letters read
All soulful visions of a time now adrift
The empty chair at table’s end
The haunting silent nights
The melancholic vacant stare
The open hand without human grasp
This disconnect between permanence and longing
Gives license to my Christmas wish
That rational thoughts blend disabling emotions
Draw him forever within even when without
CHRISTMAS WITHIN WHEN WITHOUT – SYNOPSIS
Christmas without a soul mate is especially difficult because the entire world is focused on a heightened state of festivity, laughter, and joy. The prevailing thought is the sheer magnitude of this positive environment can surely dilute a grieving person’s sadness. The best of me smiles and nods. Tears are reserved for whispers in the night. My Christmas wish is to have the haunting fact of no return intertwine the crippling emotions and patch together a semblance of a person able to take without within and make them livable synonyms.
