Christmas Scents
This is a poem written by me. Don’t steal it or I will be very pissed off. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the nostaglia I was feeling this morning.
Wafting through the air
I am assaulted by the smell of delicious cravings
Chocolate chip cookies baked by Bobby
And
Lemon bars laboriously brewed by my sister
And
Fresh peppermint bark that tantalizes my senses
And fills me with hunger and sugary delight
Then laying stagnant in the air
Our tree reminds me of a far off pine forest
That was once its home
Creating a nostalgia for a place I’ve never known
And
Christmases past were the scent of pine filled those energy wrought mornings
That I remember so fondly from my childhood
Then drifting hazily over it all
A hint of firewood burning accents the atmosphere
And
Brings warmth to my heart as I sit by the fireplace in thought
And
Pulls me back to cold winter nights when we all sat by the fire
Drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies
And
Reminds me of times long past
When everything was much simpler
And
When everything smelled so beautiful.
-Hope xoxo
