Winter Tales

A tingling sense of expectation

to celebrate the mere creation

of Jesus Christ if you believe

or other faiths, we still retrieve

a sense of festive times right now

a build up annually how

to best arrange togetherness

with food and fancy gifts no less

our urge to break the pattern clear

and leave all problems, just steer

the minds and feelings to a mood

that elevates the spirits good

a longing starting weeks before

advent`s goal to fully score

fight the darkness with candle light

the future then feels quite all right
