Christmas Holiday 1963 (DECEMBER CONTEST)
Christmas Holiday 1963
Turmoil I cannot face
so I look at the sea surface
far into the distant horizon
none can my eyes trace
calm is the ocean today...
a dew drop in my lashes
washes my eye
none knows what it does next
as it rolls down my face
will my soul also remain
calm that way
I get up to smile
then see you standing in front of me
I cannot imagine how much you love me...
I shall return to call on
another day....
Happy Xmas for all today (2017)
That was the year 1963
gone down in memory
alive though a lovely holiday it is still...

if the judge did
he was supposed to comment

Hi Loved
I suspect he Did read it although he didn't comment on it. (although in this case it was a she). the holiday season can get hectic though which leaves a lot of folks short of time to comment. I myself like this retrospective poem.......stan
