PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

tomorrow holds no guarantee

nor even the spit of a most pitiful

promise

as the fading past offers no real

proof

in regard to any true collective

humanity

leading more than one stray to muse

that what we've accomplished

to date is naught

history is but chipped dull paint

on a stormy night

leading the more objective to conclude

that man is such a futile, ignorant

and unworthy vessel

why God must be violently quaking

in his supreme jest of rage

yet he breaths his hottest breath over

the heads of the coldly brave

our souls are so thankful

for the much needed heat

so much so

that they expand to envelope

each his every man

that is why oddly enough

even the least deserving come to

rejoice amid the hate and cold

why?

for its Christmas day

the day our individual spirits

reach out through us to one

another

to briefly touch thy fellow spirit

and take a hold

as its been so long since the souls

have seen one another

so this precious day is more so

for them

we are but the carriers of their joy

and Christ I'm sure wouldn't have it

any other way

after all

who but he would come up with the idea

to give others gifts

on his own beloved birthday!............
