A Yule-Tide Poem
written by: Chad Norman
@ChadNormanPoet
One night only
the dreams settle down,
one in particular
comes through
like somebody
opening the door
when a movie is playing
and quickly finds a seat.
I had that dream
last night
where all the crows
of the passing roost
wore red ribbons
around their necks,
and when I
woke up
I found it
Christmas morning,
then the wind let me
return to sleep,
I fell in deeper
because of the bells.
