where the heart isn't
the twentyfifth of december
has become an orgy of obligation
overspending
overeating
overoohingandaahing
over meaningless bestowals
of oddments and endments
and afterwards the discomfort
of a gutful of food
too rich too rare too much
fermenting in the spirits of the season
they say home is where the heart is
and everyone wants to be home for the holidays
my heart is in the midnight sky
never have i spent a christmas there
i have yet to open a decorated door
and stepped
not into an overheated bedlam
of tinselled gaud
a blizzard of shredded giftskin
the ticktock boom of seasonal electronica
overlaid with a shrieking chorus of merryhappyhohoho
but into the embrace of stars

A magickal rendering of an antique fanlight door at my cousin's house in Stratford, Connecticut, decorated for the holidays.

Yes the Magic of a star filled sky, crunching frost ladden soil, still cold crisp air and silence.... . These are the special gifts of Winter. Skating and sleding were the king and queen of the season at one time and they could be enjoyed just out your front or back door. Happy Season to you Reginia!!!FAVTW FAC

Wonderful to see your artwork featured in Female Artists group! Love the red door and your description...all too true! The real spirit of the holiday we seek is found in the quiet moments...at peace with eyes open and heart full of wonder to the gifts of natural beauty that are before us...like in the night sky..
