Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve.

It is the expectation.

The hush.

The moment ,

Before the touch.

The thought

Before the deed.

The flower

Before the seed.

The look

That needs no words.

The flight

Of startled birds.

It is the smell

Of a new book.

The turn

I’m glad I took.

The intro

To the song.

The need

To right a wrong.

The kiss

Before I go.

The smile

That says you know.

It is the eve

Before the day

And soon

I’m home to stay.

Merry Christmas.
