    The Christmas Box

     Time stands still
    as I unwrap the box
    I pull off the ribbon
    to the ticking of the clock

    I shake it a little
    for it feels empty
    just like my heart
    when I stare at this tree

    as I open the lid
    there is nothing there
    except the scars and memories
    my broken heart wears

    The holidays remind me
    of those I have lost
    The emptiness I feel
    From the Christmas box

    Thank you so much for you comments.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
