The Bag Lady

🎄🎄🎄

Feeling listless as I see the spread of Christmas fare strewn in the living room

Waiting to feel the boundless energy to lift weightless imagined burdens that keep me from opening the first box

Delving into my memories and the senseless repetition of unachievable forgetting

Wishing to become fearless, face the future, moving in a new direction or

Wallowing in needless frustration with what is gone and start anew

Living is never flawless, so I open the box, sort the good thoughts and find a temporary future.

This is from Twitter and so sad, as we here in the US are protected by vaccines. There are ongoing debates about whether or not to vaccinate your babies and children. What do you think? These numbers are phenomenal.

Remain vigilant

Never say we cannot change

Earth is ours to hold

Your hat and coat laying there

Familiar case packed on the stair

We tried and failed, I feel bereaved

Only a still-life after you leave

Emptiness overpowers me

With a future I don’t care to see

Please come back, fold your arms around

Feel again the happiness surround.

Through the sea fog haze

Searching for white sailed vessels

Sat upon the sand

The shortened road ahead, I see it clearly only for a limited time. What is around that corner could be intimidating, even frightening. My head aches with unwanted visions of an uncertain future. Remaining positive is difficult even though the light dappling from above seems promising. I rely on it, follow it through dark times.

Merry happy whatever I reminded myself

As my king sized bedding I retrieved from the shelf

A chore I despise if I’m being honest

Lifting and spreading out of the closet

Crawling over to the corner is no race

To fit the corners in their special place

I think I need to hire a maid

Present to myself? Nuff said!

And if that’s not enough to stop you reading, number two:

The gift of the magi

A sweet thought it’s true

From lover to lover

Not borrowed or blue

A smile, hug, an offered kiss

Are gifts I cannot resist.

I now have zero faith in this idea

Fortune telling as a career

Wanted a gift on Christmas Eve

The tented lady was out to deceive

Your love will like this, promised me

And held out a ring for me to see

The ring was odd, a large ruby stone

Thought maybe my love would like to own

A gem like this, a special dark red

It was cloudy with sparkles spread

Paid the woman with no slight

Said, I hope your prediction’s right

Wrapped the ring with special string

Hoped she thought I was her king

Right away she was enamored

Put it on and then it lost its glamour

A curse upon it did a trick

Heard a scream, watched the ring inflict

Transformation from human to witch

The fortune teller caused a glitch

My love was my beauty no more

Went back to the tent for a gory chore

Tore it down with the woman inside

Along with her tent, the teller died.

Some think my love has the teller’s form

I admit she’s far from the norm

But still my love and I’ll never leave

Beauty was all the teller reaved.
