"For Those Who Believe'

 

" For Those Who Believe"

Greg Budig 2020

Colored lights 

illuminate the cold

winter darkness. 

Hung from doorways,

welcoming and warm. 

All along streets that

are all too familiar. 

Strings of lights 

color the air. 

The snow has steadily 

been falling as we 

travel like wisemen.

An atmosphere of 

light and color

now fills the air.

We walk through the

glow still searching

for Christmas. 

The feeling of an 

inner child wells 

up from deep inside.

Listening for the 

sound of far off bells.

The old and jaded 

can just stay  home!

This is the night for 

those who believe. 

Passing the church

down the street

around the corner.

The voices inside gently

sing "Silent Night".

It flows through

the bell tower,

through the snow

up to heaven.

Walking through the

air that glows red 

and green, you look

deeper into the

sacred dark night.

Eyes still searching 

for a magical sleigh, 

You remember when

you once heard it's bells. 

Seems we are always 

searching for lighted 

houses down each street.  

For a chance to see if

the magic is still alive.

Hold onto the memories

that the season brings.

Hold onto that piece

of your heart. 

The End
