Maybe

Maybe
A possibility exists, where there was a lack before 
Maybe
You understand my idiosyncrasies 
And Maybe 
I understand yours
Maybe 
You and I, will work 
and it'll be a sweet thing 
Maybe 
We won't and it'll be a bittersweet memory
My heart is fascinated by the possibilities 
My head is analyzing the data
The answers lie around the bend
Maybe 
Just maybe 
You're the one

Serendipity

Are there words to describe this feeling, this joy?
I can try to describe, 
the fluttering 
the silly giddyness that talking to you brings me. 
Smiling wide
I am alive
You brought the sun to me, 
in this winter 
The joy, light in darkness 
and I feel I've known you 
Always 
and rationality has no part
of this serendipity. 

Christmas Bells

Just thinking about how often Christmas Bells are mentioned in songs, such as the song "Jingle Bells," which recalls a time when transportation through the snow was by sled.

Christmas Bells

Christmas bells don't ring from sleigh bells, along the modern streets

rather they ring from door knobs or pine boughs 

or from beggars clanging a bell by store fronts 

or echo's of the past.

Christmas time is tradition

for some

but to others it is pain.

The night is holy,

the night is plain

the same, the same, the same
