Just Another Reason (contest submission)

A heart lost in tinsel--
Surrounded by the sounds
Of the season; it is just another reason
For me to love you.  The crisp
December air wraps itself
Around my soul, edging
The fire to burn higher, inside.
Behold the twinkle of dreams,
Lingering in the space between
Two people underneath the mistletoe--
A kiss away, with an evergreen
To bear witness to promises made,
Sugar plum secrets, trimmed
With holiday ribbons--
A million lights within a single touch,
A picture perfect realization: an open door
That revealed--
You came home for Christmas.
