'fare ye well' kind friends
at a time of dark horizons
and fog filled minds
melting, through Tier-clamped wishes and plans
comes a season for all to behold
augmenting frost-bitten reality
by choosing: to let hope flow freely
soothing, those despairing in misery
and gifting all a cherished respite,
with every snowflake envisioned
bleak future's seemingly brightened
and our regrets, temporarily misplaced
making space: for that fresh start that beckons
a time for blinkered abandon
when laughter shared between a handful
in households or huddled corners in streets
serenades lonely hearts: in those trenches of night,
where inundated is surrendered
to morning scenes
filled with trusting eyes from innocent minds
and their contagious: carefree smiles
scripting: our ending to 2020
with whimsy aplenty
and a survivor’s merry, that tickles
those most calloused of skins,

Good write LB.
Very nice L.B. Stay Safe and have a happy Holiday.
yup, just trying to put in my 2 cents worth of positivity, at a time of all things -seemingly, bleak...
glad you liked it and as always: appreciate the support Jerry
This is simply wonderful.
why thank you Clara, you generous and forgiving reader, so glad you could connect with my humble scribble, to summarise my message I will just quote the great Nat King Cole - for the umpteenth time in my life and simply state:
'There may be trouble ahead
But while there's moonlight
And music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance',
Happy Holidays dear Poet, thank you for gifting me an unexpected smile in these testing times, stay safe
Very good write Mek, those snowflakes are totally individual as are we and both can bring beauty to our lives.
