As the fire dies down,
As the din of night settles in,
The world is bustling with
Last minutes purchases
Preparations
For day break.
Save for four friends,
Though all had desires
Wishes.
One wishes to remember
Another wishes nothing more
Than to be beside her
One wishes to forget
His life
His tragedies
His home
The last only wishes
To return to what he knew
His world
His princess
But as the fire dies down,
As the din of night settles in,
All are happy
And regrets
Desires
Wishes
Slip from their minds
In each other's company
All is well
All are loved
As the world rushes by
Peace, heavenly peace,
As the four close their eyes
Thought of what may come
Are left to wait
For the day.
Happy Holidays
