A silhouette against the sun
The wind takes over sails
As pirates slumber in the night
In hopes, the wind won’t fail

Lest they be forever adrift
In a sea, oft unforgiving
Battering waves, tossed about
Yet, it’s how they go on living

The life they choose, no matter
What others, of them, may think
They’ll stash abundant treasure
As they watch the others sink

Into the deepest oceans
Lost, in a battle of greed
Thirsty for blood, they conquer
No matter how much you plead

They take it all, there’s nothing left
Your ship, lay barren and wasted
And you cling to life, but lose the fight
Your own blood, you now have tasted

Diurnal light shines, a glow upon the Earth

Opening our eyes, to beauty and wonder

If we don’t remember, to treasure its worth

Our costly actions, will surely put asunder

Every bauble on the tree, holds a special memory

Each one we carefully hang, both round and square

It’s the wonder of the year, with loved ones ever near

All these Christmas treasures, we are sure to share

Hidden beneath the earth
In a grotto, the tide rolls in
Is this place I can call my very own
Where tranquil waters caress my skin

I watch the sunlight streaming
From the darkness of my cave
Reflections float around me
Yet, I am not afraid

Though peaceful ripples signal
The tide is about to change
I will not leave this treasure
For everywhere else is strange

Here is where I feel at home
This is where I wish to stay
Quietly listening, to the sounds
Of the water, from the bay

You can’t imagine what’s inside!
Just pull the ribbon, it’ll come untied

Dozens of little packages, begin to pop
Box after box, from bottom to top

Filled with a treasure, especially for you
Each tiny gift, has a trinket or two

One you will cherish, ever so dear
Good tidings to bring us, ever so near

The wonders this little sack does hold
Can never be borrowed, bought or sold

The thing inside, a sheer work of art
All of my love, straight from my heart
