'Tis the Season!
The weather is getting colder, decorations are being hung , Christmas music is playing from speakers, and everyone is getting ready for the holidays . However, this season may be hard on many people experiencing; loss/grief, homelessness, overworking, sickness, and so much more. I was pondering on what I would write about for for Ziga's World this week. I came to the conclusion that I would share a poem I wrote called, December .
December
'Tis the Season
To feel joy and happiness
To admire the snow capped mountains and glistening frozen lakes
The steam emitted from mugs, cars, and buildings
To fill every day with reflections of unforgettable memories
And irreplaceable people
But the seasons are becoming weaker in joy
Harder to relish and live
Because the countdown has been tainted with expiration dates, brutality, and deprivation
What overpriced gift can rid us of the pain we bear?
Our childlike nature fails to resurge the believe in the magic that once was
The big red man that brings us presents if we've been good or bad
But we've been too busy trying to survive
So how close do we hold December
If we can't even hold each other as close as we did before
Nothing I write could bring justice to the healing everyone needs
But words can bring the standard
Comfort
Listen to the jingle bells
Let it bring you into a world of colorful lights
Let every faith and holiday tradition bring you the strength you need
Whether you're alone, or surrounded by others
Don't let the season go to rot
Because life in unpredictable
But it's a beautiful mess filled with so much jubilation
Living is more fulfilling than possessions
Merryfull people can fill the holes in your heart
They're irreplaceable
This season may hurt
But joy can mend the chaos
Mend the diminishing memories
Make December a season worth living
