The Season Of Lights

It feels like midnight, though it’s only 5

The world’s gone dark, but everywhere there is light

*

Against the black sky and snow covered ground

Iridescent colors shine all around

*

Homes all covered with strings of twinkling lights

Draped across roofs and lampposts outside

*

Filling windows, adorning the streets

In shapes of snowmen and candy canes, and covering trees

*

Flares of light, and vivid hues

Of reds, greens, yellows, and blues

*

Like a thousand miniature suns

All melding together as one

*

Sprawling across the jet atmosphere

Illuminating the night like stars, so sheer

*

These vibrant lights now taking the place

Of the Earth’s spring blooms and autumn leaves

*

As the world grows colder, and its colors fade,

Lighting our way through these darker days

*

Not only lighting the blackened skies

But reigniting the light in our eyes

*
