Holiday Lights

Twinkling lights

Hushed laughs

Ones that I can’t understand (yet)

As I walk without direction (again),

I suddenly stop my breath

And lone and behold

A Hallmark moment

of sorts

happens

And though, I am not going to think much of it

It shows me the beauty of together

After such a stressful time

I feel good

I feel at peace

And I cannot wait to see what this next year will hold

Because uncertainty has become the norm

But feeling at peace with it,

has been such a long process

And I feel ready to ease this burden away
