Lights & Bows

The frost on me when I have said:
"Lights & Bows who hardly knows
What lies below the tree unread"

"The big blue box isn't for you," the wind blows
"That's 'cause life in heaven isn't red

No winter chills nor socks on icy feet"
"Oh yes," I say "no hunger or pain in my head
But what is there to eat, will any of it be sweet?

What of the charms and the honey smells?
What of the want, will there be no take?"
"No waiting, no wanting below the tree knell
An unopened gift leaves nothing to forsake

Winter bells ring & simple things sings
Wonders of living is an animated thing."
