Christmas Eve

For a better wine
in the Christmas time
at the midnight clock
let us have this walk
in the cool, brisk air
Let us cast off airs
and pour out the year
and tomorrow's fear

As we warm the whole
Both stem and bowl
Let the aroma rise
under these drifting skies
on Christmas Eve
as we receive
the promise given
to the world we live in

I could imbibe
any moment alive
if it were you and I
with open minds
on a stroll like this
within Winter's kiss
as we spoke in a hush
Just the two of us
