Christmas Past Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Softly playing a Christmas rhythm from beyond the rainbow,
touching Christmas past coming to mind through this serene
and peaceful melody.

Touching interior feelings and emotions, giving me such
pleasure, remembering family and friends who have passed
through the years.

Tears stinging my eyes with their memories, always near
and dear to my heart, no matter how long it has been,
love still filling me with their aromas and now my tears.

A soliloquy, a sonata, composing past images, emotions
and melodies altogether, entirely taken aback in this
nighttime atmosphere where life is now standing still.

Writing and listening to every note as it fills my heart
overwhelmingly with the love I once knew in Christmas's
past.
