Christmas Beneath the Cloud

The winter's edge blowing easy and free

Drifting snow around the Christmas tree

Our village hidden beneath the clouds

Where kids dreams surround the crowd

Such antiquated charm amongst the cold

As the mountains above encircle our home

Snow covered streets the winds favorite kiss

Horse drawn sleighs full of people and gifts

Caroler's singing together, our Christmas blend

Behind the lamplighter lighting the lane ahead

Hypnotized by the shadows nearing the end

Running home together with my closest friend

Off with our coats snuggled close by the fire

With snaps and pops such a rainbow of color

Yesterdays fables brightening Christmas tales

Separating the happiness running off the scale

Watching the village sleep beneath the clouds

To vary from day to day, invisible from beyond

Just a letter of concern while dividing my thoughts

Oh Santa Clause please be here on Christmas Eve

Between the mountains hidden beneath the clouds

To maneuver the rooftops with reindeer and sleigh

As Santa cleans the chimneys all the way down

Inflated to the brim with his cookies and milk

To full fill our dreams stretched over this year

My wish lists set aside hand written with care

So many eyes that sparkle on Christmas Day

Only the spirit knows Santa always finds a way

To shelter each other with God's love so tender

With Christmas wishes of joy blessed forever.
