How Far Is It? By Wilbur D Nesbit
How far is it till Christmas? It's across the Land of Dreams Where the laughing valleys are, And the ever-singing streams, And up the hill of doubting And along the road of smiles Until you reach the border Of the land of otherwhiles.
It's far away, and near us; It is there, and close at hand-- Oh earnest little fellow, Can I make you understand? You lie awake and whisper, You count and count the days And try to bring it nearer In a hundred varied ways!
Already you have seen it In a gleam of joy afar, Have you seen its joy approaching In the twinkle of a star; You hear the bells that jingle And the clatter of the hoofs That beat a song of gladness As they gallop on the roofs.
How far is it till Christmas? It's not so far away-- For all I know already You have and hold the day; It has no time nor season; It is not set apart, But sends its blessed sunshine To every little heart.

Yeah, Jags, you got caught. A little birdie told me about your room and so I found a poem that described it perfectly. ;D Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I really liked the poem "I Carry Your Heart With Me" too DragonLord. It says so much in so few words. I'm glad you liked it. There are others that I like by E.E. Cummings and I will try to post some more of them in the future. Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Jags, I really like the Christmas poem. Thank you for sharing it. I have never read any of Wilbur D Nesbit's work. Is he a favorite poet of yours? Think I will have to make the time to look him up and see what else he has written. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Stone Telling - Shel SilversteinHow do we tell if a window is opened? Just throw a stone at it. Does it make a noise? It doesn't? Well, it was open. Now let's try another.... CRASH!It wasn't! Hmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if this is the way Jags finds out if his window are open or not. ;D Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Touched by An Angel - Maya AngelouWe, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls. We are weaned from our timidity In the flush of love's light we dare be brave And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.

Great poetry, DragonLord. The "time" one is very true. My girls remind me of that every day. You have a very special talent. Do you think you will get them published some day? Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I like the anecdote your fool poem tells. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) You seem to have the same kind of rythm & form pattern (or frame, "skeleton") in the poems I read of you so far; is there any particular reason for that?

That's the way they come to me, and as such they just flow from me to the page without much thought, except the occasional polish when I'm transcribing them to computer.
