Spirit
the calm that is supposed to come
the feeling of joy
the fleeting song of happiness in your heart
the gift giving
THE GIFT GIVING!
Homemade gifts gone awry
paper flying everywhere
the price tags connected with my jaw dropping way down
dinner preparations
time with family
time with significant other's family
love them
hate them
wish it really only were one time a year
the who gets what
the endless trips out for something forgotten
the rotten mood I'm in
the way I feel
the calm I need
the calm I crave
the place between sleep and bliss
is just three days away.
