Moonbeams linger on the ledge,
The music’s sweet, the fire is warm,
Christmas is done.
The house is restored to order
though the tree is a little worse
for wear,
Here and there
a bit of tinsel hangs haphazardly
from somewhere it doesn’t belong.
Soon New Year’s Eve
will usher in
a new beginning.
Fleet footed Father Time
allows us
these moments of bliss.

This is delicate and so true… I really enjoyed it.
Many thanks, Bardess
