Another lovely starry night in early November.
My tall glass of cold herbal tea sits on the patio table surrounded by scented candles.
The yard is dark as I sit in my lounge chair enjoying the peaceful darkness.
Stars shine in the deep black distance.
A soft breeze transmits my gardens perfume.
Relaxing, I release the pressures of a busy day
Totally in tune with my inner senses,
a
loud cackle startles me.
I quickly look into the endless sky depths.
I cannot believe my eyes.
Picking up my glasses, I hurriedly put them on.
The wind picks up suddenly and more sounds invade the stillness of the evening.
As the scene unfolds, I fall back onto my lounge chair overcome with laughter.
Several witches on brooms, looking back
worriedly, fly by.
A crowd of turkeys chase the witches across the sky.
Snowmen pass merrily in a white dazzle.
Jingling bells belong to The Sleigh, Santa in jeans and a heavy work jacket,
2 elves holding a beautifully trimmed tree; Flying reindeer look down and nod as away
they fly!
Slowly crossing the night sky is a very old Father Time; He looks down, nods and slowly
smiles as I wave to him.
In his hand is a rope attached to a small wagon he pulls -- Smiling brightly and
curiously is Baby New Year!
As they fade into the distant sky, I realize the Holiday Season is truly upon us!!
