...as twilight covers the town,
its velvet shadow casting down,
the snow falls softly to the ground...twas twilight

Twas Twilight by Shelley 

​As twilight drifts about the town
the shadows cast most softly down.
Folks quietly put their shops to rest,
contented feelings of being blessed
grace those merchants of this day
as they reflect & went on their way.
Gathering coats ~ locking up tight
heading for home ~ the beckoning light.
As twilight drifts about the town
velvet snow comes cascading down.
In spite of all the frost & snow
everyone is so friendly as they go.
Kindled fires await their return.
Hot apple cider, their only concern.
As twilight drifts about the town
good-will, peace & magic abound.
This cherished moment is within view,
this can happen for me & you.
Hold fast to your dreams, wishes & desires,
positive thinking is all that it requires.
​Hang on so tight of  impossible seems 
of your faith, of your hopes,
of your dreams!

NEARLY CHRISTMAS
..they gather their warmest coats -
head home to beckoning lights,
the fire all kindled and the cider warmed...​.

Nearly Christmas was inspired by a poem
by Canadian Poet Vera Ernst McNichol
It must be nearly Christmas,
there's enchantment in the air
a certain cheery feeling
that takes away our care.
Faces radiate with gladness
in spite of frost and snow,
greetings seem more friendly
everywhere we go.
It must be nearly Christmas,
the children are so good.
They seem so over-anxious
to do the things they should.
Older folks see visions of
Christmas days gone by,
other family circles,
where childish hopes ran high.
It must be nearly Christmas,
the people are more jolly
everything is bright & gay,
with mistletoe & holly.
Excitment seems contagious,
vibrating through the crowd,
until love fills with one accord,
the humble & the proud.
It must be nearly Christmas,
Good-will & peace abound.
At no other season is such magic found.
There is a glow of happiness,
that no one can explain...
It must be that the Christ-child
has come to earth again! ​
