MOON DUST

MOON DUST

on a Christmas Eve 

in a somewhere place

an old stocking lays 

with it's santa face

staring upwards 

through a roof tile

cracked

at a dusty moon

who does not

smile back

it observes the sleigh bells

passing by 

over somewhere else

with its long dead eye

from the spying place

in its old felt face

under roof tiles, cracked

from the black someplace

where a dusty moon

will not smile back

this year

This is a bittersweet poem and I like the format you have it in it flows 
beautifully. I too have a bittersweet melancholia going on this year. Maybe it is related to losing so many friends and loved one... Not related to covid either. 
I had covid and spent some days in the hospital.. Life is brief and it is also sweet.  love the write

Hi Sharaine...I'm sorry for your losses but I also know those words are meaningless. I have always loved Christmas...I lament the loss of the beauty of this time of year as well as the loss of a most precious person from my life and also the loss of whoever I used to be within those losses. Grief is a complicated thing is it not. The world is no longer the same colour...thankyou so much for taking the time x
