Present Peace



Santa surprises
merry mischief
candy cane kisses
love eyes glitter
Italian lights

dark fades
for the light of the world
hearts beating
one loud rhythm
one song
Silent Night
holy

a nanosecond
of illusive calm



in children’s eyes
in adults’ eyes
the child

stacked presents
steps of love
climb to touch heaven
bring peace down to earth


in the silence
finding
no need
to reach.
