Christmas Weather

Usually, a damp dog blanket sky.

Obligatory walks through wet grass parks.
Dogs with their families wearing jumpers
that make them feel like dorks.
Atmosphere dull and grey on a day full of laughter
and light.
Christmas delight
When in dull grey light people shine
with that love so easily shared.
Amplified by smiles.

Beautiful days but still we pray.

For a Christmas when the silence falls.
Natures gently deafening cloak.
Softly muting all the traffic noise
'till traffic gives up the ghost.
The sky still dog blanket grey
but the world is sparkling diamond hope.

Christmas day.
The world cleaned white.

Sins washed away by soap.
