Lost Horizons and Times Past
Lost Gifts of December
There is a bracelet,
or a necklace...
rhodolite or rosarine...
somewhere between here
and the North Pole.
There are toy trains,
or siddurim,
Talmud black and smokey...
fallen in the snow
somewhere during Hanukkah.
There is an angel
or studda baba...
a knock comes on the door;
standing in suspense,
somewhere in Palestine.
There is a garden,
Arcadia,
where birds sing Christmas carols,
secret paradise
lost horizon!

I'm getting ahead for the usual reasons. Poetry is a tough Task-Master.
rosarine - I believe I made this word up; essentially a semi-precious stones used for rosary beads.
siddurim - books of prayers
