Day 28 – 12/23/2021

Past the ice trees a celebration they did find,
with all the families of past that they did keep in mind.

All the creatures that passed through the crowd,
given happy greetings joyous and loud.

The Cardinals spiraled around all the noise,
all while watching the children play with their festival toys.

The friends in their memories never went away,
they just seemed to be hiding through their typical day.

Animals continues from the trees,
festival dancing creating a wonderful breeze.

Day 27 – 12/22/2021

Over a small lake the collected some more friends,
a small group of geese deciding to stay the winter.

A little frigid but happy they joined the search,
a chance to rejoin comfort and joy in a seasonal rebirth.

Continued travel over the frozen lake,
the growing group of friends could sense getting a break.

To a growing number of sounds from the shore,
they sped up to get closer to hear more.

Sprinkles of lights peaked through the forest,
coming closer to comfort and rest.

Day 26 – 12/21/2021

Another sound of Christmas they heard,
looking at each other, not tweeting a word.

The sled came speeding down the trail,
woodland creatures chasing it’s tail.

Excitement building up,
overabundance of family laughter never enough.

Mr Cardinal, mate, bunny and all,
raced after the rest trying not to fall.

Through the village they flew and ran,
another trail their journey did span.

To their delight just outside their vision,
their friends pulling carriages appeared.

the place lacking of fear.

Day 24 – 12/19/2021

Just as they hoped it would,
their Christmas cactus bloomed as it should.

As they know friends on holidays,
rely on hope in many ways.

Family comes closer, like the beauty of a bloom,
for anger and irritance there is no room.

They know excitement will be soon,
as the colors of the season will loom.

Working away to make a wonderful day,
closing in so soon will be comfort to stay.

Day 23 – 12/18/2021

Circling their home right next to the hill,
seeings one of their old friends was such a thrill.

The search gang has expanded quite a bit,
on the ground were otters, geese, and rabbits.

All heard the joy of the children,
and knew the search had come to an end.

There was only one thing to know,
for such a long time … where did they all go?

The answer needing known,
to keep the comfort and joy or a wonderful season.

Although it’s not 100% the reason.

Day 22 – 12/17/2021

Arriving at a snowy field,
tracks of sleds showed someone having fun.

Looking down the hill to their favorite resting tree,
only old people did they see.

Confusion continued to set it,
this is where children should have been.

Hearing cheery cackling from afar,
maybe an answer to their wishes on a star.

A high pitched scream sped down the hill,
the friends recognized a kid named Bill.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 21

Day 21 – 12/16/2021

The star above as plentiful as friends,
the soft glow of the galaxy goes to no end.

Comfort from the heavens so bright and thick,
it seems everything in the universe has one clique.

All of the families below ignored the starry show,
the solace of the place below could only come from above.

Circling back to their friends in tow,
the Cardinals landed in low.

They looked at each other,
“we still can’t find the families we know …”

Day 20 – 12/15/2021

Looking down at the icy reflections,
wishing hope and comfort for all.

The warmth in their hearts flying together,
if all else fails will make everything better.

Skies near and full of life,
all have some kind of strife.

Listening for old friends a start,
circling the winds they know they will never be apart.

Day 19 – 12/14/2021

Mr. Cardinal with his mate,
flying high over waves frozen in time.

Wondering if the comfort they had,
will return or just drive them mad.

A joke his mate did tweet,
made him think, “isn’t she sweet”.

A place with comfort alive,
laughter and warmth are it’s main drive.

Wings spread gliding ahead,
time to let the wind guide us ahead.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 18

Day 18 – 12/13/2021

A puff of snow like a plush star,
a picture of comfort between friends they are.

To find a place where this will always be,
a paradise light you all will see.

Never forgetting those from past,
learned lessons teach relationships to last.

Studying from the current to set the future,
trying to make the past newer.

At a bright star they look,
to realize this time they took.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 17

Day 17 – 12/12/2021

A group exiting from the church,
walked the river, one man with a slight lurch.

He looked at Mr. Cardinal and friends,
“those creatures look as if on a quest”.

A few tweets and squeaks from city’s tiny tenants,
made them almost look like they had human feelings.

Still flitting around looking for laughter,
the creatures made such a banter.

Looking for their small human friends,
they decided to continue around the bend.

Day 16 – 12/11/2021

The ruckus coming from the distant building,
joy from the structure not yielding.

Comfort in place glowed from this space,
maybe this group can slow down it’s race.

Finding a noise so full of light,
proves on the track they may be right.

Traveling slowly to the front,
their hopes turns into heavenly want.

Day 15 – 12/10/2021

Brushing past the snow covered tree,
flying is he was trying to flee.

Mr. Cardinal with accomplices following,
sped down the making others look like they we walking.

The crashing of noises and voices become louder,
their hearts racing with emotions all the wilder.

comfort almost like a warm winter brew.

Peaking around the corner they did see ….

Day 14 – 12/09/2021

Hearing something that sounded like a family,
Mr. Cardinal and his friends romped joyously.

Maybe the friends we made last year,
were never lost but close and near.

Listening to the echoes down the road,
the sounds they were hearing they did not know.

Were they long time friends?,
oh, they wished they knew what was around the bend.

Remembering the past with warmth and love,
feeling like the sun shining from above.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 13

Day 13 – 12/08/2021

A butterfly speeding around,
wishing well before finding a home in the ground.

Looking for the families he greeted in spring,
like Mr. Cardinal he did not find a thing.

Where are the friend, he asked Cardinal,
I don’t know, maybe scared away by the snow?

Wanting the comfort of friends before he sleeps,
butterfly showed his disappointment without a peep.

Way in the distance a brief sound was heard,
almost an incoherent blurb.

His wish coming true?

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 12

Day 12 – 12/07/2021

To the edge of a piece of wood he sped,
quickly flicking his feathers of red.

Not to far from the meet-up to be,
at the waters edge a frozen bee was seen.

The jittery buzz Mr. Cardinal heard,
almost in a whisper bee spoke his word.

All the children walked past here, he said,
wondering if they missed past years friends.

I’m a little cold, said bee, as he shivered and shaked,
I need to find weather a little more towards baked.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 11

Day 11 – 12/06/2021

After hearing the sound of a friendly clippity-clop,
Mr. Cardinal, right into a mane, did a mighty plop.

Where are the children you normally carry,
the ones that are usually so merry?

The ones on the sides waiting for candy,
I remember a red-haired one named Mandy.

We don’t know, said the one horse,
the other looking to the side with a little remorse.

Last year we went down another street,
maybe no one told them where to meet.

Day 10 – 12/05/2021

Circling over the frozen near the stream,
Mr. Cardinal, mate at his side, did gleam.

An unintended family filled with comfort,
waving to their new friends flying over the river port.

Looking at the snowy landscape,
a search for beauty he did not have to wait.

Still aware listening for laughter,
for more signs of comfort he did search.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 8

Day 8 – 12/03/2021

A lone river otter next to a frog,
who seemed cold enough to start digging into a bog.

Otter saw the flash of feathers,
down the river not for the better.

Otter whisked Mr. Cardinal’s mate to the side,
off to safety just in time.

Freddy frog who was scared off of his log,
said to Otter, I’m glad things didn’t go wrong.

To Cardinal he bid farewell,
time to dig below the bog for a winter long.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 7

Day 7 – 12/02/2021

Staring at a dandelion clock,
he noticed a sight that gave him a slight shock.

A fluttering in rush,
in the little stream next to the brush.

His mate had fallen being pushed along,
flowing down the water something had gone wrong.

One the side fallen leaves exploded,
exposing the ground that long a go eroded.

Speeding up the water,
 pushing through the pile of his fodder.

In a blur of fur,
his mate was safely pushed to the side.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 6

Day 6 – 12/01/2021

Through a sunset,
maybe his wishes to be met.

A faint tinge of hope to be seen,
although the sounds of laughter seem to be lean.

Light entering the matter,
gives darkness quite spatter.

A glow, even dim,
may give rise to a joyous sound.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 5

Day 5 – 11/30/2021

Looking out from his perch,
city lights blaring, a mighty noise not heard.

Wondering in his mind,
are children being heard?

Wishing for things of comfort and love,
staring out up and above.

Listening for a peep,
Mr. Cardinal notices none.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 4

Day 4 – 11/29/2021

Flying high looking past his beak,
looking for a post to take a seat.

Mr. Cardinal checking out who is fun,
and who is hiding from the sun.

The frozen beauty ahead,
inspires many to stay in bed.

But a cold cannot be warmed,
if light is hidden and not allowed to be born.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 3

Day 3 – 11/28/2021

Waiting in a field,
wondering what will make this year’s yield.

Family in tow,
while I watch everyone grow.

Wondering if the they live,
will be better than the one I give.

Will what I teach my flock,
make our neighborhood a much better block?

Will they help those in need,
will they help grow the field for those with no yield?

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 2

Day 2 – 11/27/2021

Going with the wind,
but not forgotten.

Remember me when the season is over,
and had given in to a new day.

A reason to renew,
leads a season to begin.

A life to create,
a heart on the wind to lift up.

The Christmastime Dream – “Comfort In Place” 2021 Poem – Day 1

Day 1 – 11/26/2021

With my eyes I see home and friends,
I see this just flying round the bend.

I wish what I discovered was closer,
not so far away to seem alone.

My mate that never strays,
keeps my desire for this.

But with gleam in my eyes I need more,
to keep my seasonal discovery adored.

I glide this day … wanting to stay,
but my mate pulls me with the wind another way.
