The blues seem to have haunted me this year
Exercising their grip at my throat
A weight on my back
Making me restless
Withdrawn
and, well, forced.
And I've been pounding at it
With markets
And baking
And music
A tree
Smiles
Hugs
Kisses
Bang
Bang
Bang
bang
And it's stayed cemented right there.
Damn blues.
But today
Something is different
Lifted, l i g h t e r .
It's more than
Presents wrapped a smile in M's eye snow boots cards singing celebration laughter and knowing you love me
More than these things
I wish I knew what
I feel like love finally won
And has taken over my heart
Painting my face with a victory smile
Dancing with joy and bursting with light
I feel like finally I can say... and feel most sincerely
I Merry love Christmas you
See you again in 2010.
