Holidays are over,
They've turned off all the lights -
The songs were sung,
The bells were rung,
No more 'Silent Nights';
All the pretty trimmings
Now packed up on the shelf -
My angels flown,
All kisses blown,
I sit here by myself;
With great anticipation
I welcomed Christmas time -
A time of cheer,
All friends held dear,
Sweet memories sublime;
If only for the moment,
We give our love for free -
No questions asked,
O'er wine unflasked,
Before a dazzling tree;
Now where is the excitement
Of joyous, loving hearts?
I'm here alone,
I'm on my own,
And now the letdown starts;
Outside the world is quiet,
As silent as the snow -
My thoughts I hear,
And shed a tear,
Amidst the afterglow.

Linda: I like the way you express your feelings. Being alone after a holiday is a big let down. May God see you through the winter days to come and the memory of the joy of this season last to the next. Tokoho

I would like to translate this poem
Feeling of gloom after the glitter very nicely expressed.
