Michael Peterson Poems

The mood is right, the lights are dim
The radio is on, Christmas carol playing away
Holiday spirit in the air
Why doesn't it feel right?
...

Temperatures dropping quickly
Clouds rolling in heavily
The brisk wind starting to pick up
An early December cold front coming in
...

Where to begin all in a spin
Stress, lies, bills, pressure
They are mounting, like a bounty
Never enough money
...

Words that mean a lot to all gals
Of all ages, are touched
Honored, rejected or ignored
Some cherish them
...

Taking a stroll down the street
Looking at the many houses
Some full, a few empty
The yards all so different in their own way
...

Woke up early today
A different Christmas Eve
The tears flowing, memories of you
Dreaming of a White Christmas
...

Imagine


Imagine the darkness of the night, diminishing
...

Thought of you today
It seems like yesterday
I can still hear your voice
Softly in the wind
...

Not too long ago. I seen a funeral coming
I pulled over for respect
Out of kindness I stepped out of my car
I notice a Flag thru the windshield
...

I live life for today
For today is tomorrow
As today was yesterday
For today is peaceful and bright
...
