Whispers Beneath the Lights
Hidden Truths Beneath Winter’s Glow
Where the glow of the season reveals what was once hidden.
🎄✨🕯️❄️
Red and green flashes, sparkling eyes,
Whispering tales that few dare speak
Bright sparks fill winter skies,
Beneath their glow, a shadow seeps.
🌙🕯️❄️
Shadows scale the darkened walls
Unopened letters on the mantle;
Confessions fill the quiet hall
Gift-wrapped truths hiding by candles
🔥📖❄️
Ember's glow lights hidden truths
Photos, books beneath dust's veil;
White snow falling from the roof
Red tiles that covered untold tales
🏠❄️✨
Stories told by a hearth that's warm
Tales embracing hope and peace
Snow scales soft, the open roof,
Tales, now told, and minds at ease.
🎁🕯️❄️

A delightful December poem! I especially liked this line: “ Gift-wrapped truths hiding by candles”💖
This is a beautiful Christmas poem.
A stroll through the soul of Christmas beside a fireplace. “Beneath their glow, a shadow seeps.” Are the regrets ours, or those of the ones who think they owe us?
This was so cozy and comforting to read :-)
Beautifully warm words, thankyou for sharing xx
