The crackle of the tv fireplace
Stirs my mind
As I read others’ words
Pausing
To breathe back in focus
Continuing to add more on the to-do list
But it does not include
Peace
Or
A quiet mind
No
I have to push those down
For the magical lights have gone up
While the night blankets our world
We put our decorations
For they are more to us than products
They are happiness
And
Memories
Stop
Admire
Breathe deeply back in focus
Watch what is around you
Love
