Christmas Lights on the Deck,
Little Early – What the Heck.
Mirrored in the Fallen Rain,
Doubled Imaged – Welcomed Feign.
Humbug Winds Blew in Later,
Angry as an Alligator.
Dropped a Branch – Kind of Mean,
Trying to Disrupt the Scene.
Crashing Down it Missed it All,
Laying in Its Damaged Sprawl.
Why Destroy for No Good Reason,
Whether Now or Any Season?
Christmas Lights – Protective Glow,
Confirmation – Now I Know.
That they Surely Saved the Day,
Just Can’t See Another Way!
