Christmas

 

Christmas,

A different tint a different  

Shade for everyone,

For some,

A continuous reaching back

For something that was,

Once,

For others,

 A religious experience

Perhaps a simple celestial

Celebration both wrapped in

The mists of truth and myth of

Antiquity,

And yet,

For most a time

Of selling and buying

Crazy things that have nothing

To do with whatever the celebration,

Mindlessly stretching wanting, wasting,

Emptiness to new lengths.
