330/365 - Ideal

 


It's too much
lights and tinsel and
ornaments and hats and
red and green and
glittering
clutter and cheer
everywhere

It's not enough
to keep the darkness 
at bay
To keep the darkness
from creeping in
anywhere

There are not enough
lights
to warm the night
To warm cold hearts
To make everything alright
and every year
as I fear
more of that cheer
seems to drift away
and there's not enough
of too much
to fix it today
I'm not doing okay
