Until (a poem)

Until
Written December 28th, 2011
The candle burns until the wick is gone
A pen writes until it’s out of ink
The moon floats until the first light of dawn
A ship sails the ocean until its sinks

The stars sparkle until they explode
A man is rich until he’s spent his gold
The message remains a secret until one breaks the code
A child doesn’t know until he’s told

Beneath the Fairy Lights (a poem)

Beneath the Fairy Lights
Written December 20th, 2011
The soft fairy lights
Make the midnight room glow
Like the love of a heart
Or an infant’s smile
The wall is sprinkled with rainbow reflections
And the shadows of the dim room
Hold no malice

Wrapped in the comforting season,
A child lies in soft slumber
The glittering colors
Alighted softly on his cheek
As if brought by the soft sigh
Of a passing breeze
His eyelids flutter with dreams
