The Spirit of the Holidays

The Spirit of the Holidays
by Trey Campbell

The muse of winter croons the chilly song
A fair warning that now is the time to
Bring out the shovels, coats and cocoa
Where home is more than just a bed
But the warmth of family and fireplaces
An oasis of hope in the mundane
Winter depression, the light of the sun
Substituted by the colored crystals decorating
The tree and trim, or the several candles
Burning bright through the day and night
Guiding the way of those who're lost
So that they can once again, believe
In the hopes of a new tomorrow
Where the skies aren't so grey and
The wind not as sharp, so that one
May hear the birds chirp on naked branch.
Nobody is a loner, not if they don't want to
Not during these happy, merry, wonderful
Holidays.
