Da_Yog Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Holidays I glance about this place And gaze upon a glowing face What energy What love What joy A delight to see the mind race. Laughter bounces from the walls As happiness fills the halls What energy What love What joy The bonds of family gently calls. Parting with a smile A hug seals the memory file What energy What love What joy Won't see each other for a while.
Regel Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 I really loved this poem for a variety of reasons. I loved the theme. Families coming together on the occasions of holidays or special occasions occupy the pages of photo albums everywhere. What comfort those memories bring to us. I also love the repetitive reprise What energy, What love, What joy. They each struck such a clean and clear chord in me. I liked the form as well. It has a clear beginning a definate middle, and a solid conclusion. I wonder if we appreciate that for some of these loved ones, the hug we seal the memory file with might be the only physical touch that person might have for weeks possibly months at a time. I felt such positive energy from this Yog that I needed to examine my feelings closely and give some positive energy back. Nicely done.
