Once again I sit alone,
Thoughts running through my mind.
Pondering again this time of year,
The life I left behind.

I left the things of gold n more,
Knowing they’re material.
Searching long within a dream,
I thought was just ethereal.

As I thought of dreams inside,
I knew of peace within.
Following this path I saw,
I knew it could begin.

Could it be a dream of life,
Never to be found.
Could it be a thought inside,
I listened for a sound.

Sounds I heard a second voice,
Deep within my head.
Follow me across this world,
While you sleep in bed.

I will show you son of mine,
The smile that you seek.
See this smile I give to you,
To find a love that’s meek.

Hold this dream deep within,
Search along this path.
Tarry naught far from it,
I’ll show you how to laugh.

You will be alone sometimes,
But know that you will find.
People friends and family,
Love received in kind.

Reflections in a mirror,
Only show my face.
Reflections of my life,
A different time and place.

As I look behind me,
A path I left behind.
I see the distance traveled,
I thought I lost my mind.

Now in these reflections
Christmas times that passed,
Lonely was I feeling,
Forever seemed to last.

Last year I was given,
A gift not made of gold.
It was made in heaven,
A love for me to hold.

Now I hold this love,
Deep within my soul,
Now I pass my hope,
To all who paid the toll.

Pondering again this year,
Of times I left behind.
Never more do I sit,
Alone within my mind.

So lovely to read you again Gryphyn.

Love and light to you as you walk your chosen path. May the new year bring you much to smile about.
