I have been Christmasing a little while And been pleased to find presents left for me Tonight a bag of pecans brought a smile Like my presents did when I was a kid I found a nutcracker in the pantry And brushed up on my nutcracking technique With Christmas coming the end of the week
One of my sons has hidden presents here I had better not mention what they are Should his recipients read this I fear It would snatch surprise from their curious eyes But I can feel the sparkle of a star Rising on the horizon of my heart I am ready for the magic to start
Today I think my new book will arrive And that always excites me even now Things like new books make me feel so alive With Christmas present power at this late hour I never grew up in that way somehow And when I get that package it will be A Christmas present from my poetry
I feel like it will all be worth it when I hold that gathered harvest in my hand If you make things too you will understand That my work at last will be finished then A little while: a stone to mark the mile
Very thought provoking write at this special mile marking time of year, as you no doubt are like me we can remember most of the Christmases of our lives when we can't remember other things. I'm glad to see you are waiting for mew book as I am waiting for my galley as well. Always an exhilarating feeling I agree. Anyway all the best wishes to you and yours my friend,
Our writing is a 'gathered harvest' reaped from our hearts. May all of us here at author's den, and writers around the world, have bountiful harvests in 2006!
