#30 Christmas wish

--

A Crhistmas wish — Thomas Kinkade Studios

It’s raining and cold today

It’s Christmas and I’ve listened

To Mariah Carey’s song a hundred times.

Funny how a oh so typical scenario

can still melt my heart every year.

And grow unexpected feelings

inside my chest

All I want today is you

Glued to my skin

building that warming blanket heat

cuddling and laughing

with nothing to do

nowhere to go

nothing urgent to decide

no one to deal with

life could be simple like this

every single day

Why do we complicate?

Why do we urge and fight and ego?

All we need is in our hands

All the time.

Merry Christmas my love

Let’s live this today.

Leaving the world outside.
