Christmas rapture - noun 1. the carrying of a person to another place or sphere of existence; laden with emotions that cover the whole spectrum; occurring during the Christmas season. (Contributing source: Dictionary.com) When I think of those glittering lights; cold & snowy nights, and me either sleeping tight or getting the job done right: I know that Christmas is in the aire. All my Hopes that Nicholas will be stopping by, as he continues to look past the fact that I am as awake as he. Tonight, I sit here experiencing déjà Noël, once more. I've been feeling a bit hazy, this season. My Family is all over this holiday, while I'm searching for my malfunction's reason. What will save my Faith tonight, while my Soul goes bare? I speak to no one in particular, though I hope the answer is out there. Grizzly evil had its Hook in me, in the first third of the year. Insanity had me bound and gagged, "postal"-bound; with watering eyes. Sweet freedom was growing impatient, until the paper finally turned pink. I was free to fly. I was relieved to tell my "Sister" that it was no lie. I told Jack, "Okay. Bye." I realize the night nears its end, and I'm praying for the plausibility of white dust over the next 24 hours. I'm sitting by the Front Desk window; thinking a White Christmas is a dream. It's time to shed myself of the haunts that are my yearly antisocial scenes. There are 7 days until Father Time strikes up the band, and it will be "last call" for 2007's sins. It's working on 6 o'clock in the morning. Light of the World! "Listen to what I say." I'm ready to go home for the last sleep before Yuletide traditions ensue, and I hope something saves me in time. Thank the Light, music of the season is on the air. Blessed be the likes of me, a little more than NINE Christmases ago, the gods great & wide granted me a lifelong wish. They introduced me to someone who's saved my Life more than once, since. His influences have allowed for my affluences. We're hooked on each other's entertainment values. I am bound to rebound because of Souls the likes of his in my Life. My Faith in myself and my fellow Man are free to soar. It can go past the sky's limit! I will carry on with my Hopes restored. I know deep in my heart that I can hold on to the likelihoods of brighter sides. I will hang on for another planetary ride. Come Christmas Morning, I'll be in my Olds to take me home to my Family. "Someone saved my life tonight." Something saved my Soul tonight. I'll save my strength for going out to play amid the falling snow. 2008 is eight midnights away. I'll be placing a few calls to say "Happy New Year!" A dozen times over, my steadfastness was tried. My Eternal Gratitude to all whom helped me turn it around. "Happy Christmas" will not be a whisper, but an outspoken cheer! I'm alive with fresh holiday Spirit. I've been saved for the next Quantum Leap Year. Someone prayed for me a Silent Night... Someone gave my tunnel's end some light... I love you all, as you've saved my Life, in time for Christmas Night... |
