The Life Argotic

Ramblings on how language, education, and cultural symbols shape the way people understand the world


The Lights

The lights
I close my eyes and see the lights
Twinkling reflections off the snow
The cold air pressing against my body
My breath visible in the sky
Your arm wrapped in mine
The sound of your laughter in my ear
The warmth of your love
Like a fire in a hearth


The lights shining brightly in rows of ribbons
Floating on the air like ships at sea
Bobbing up and down with the wind
Gently in the breeze
The sound of snow beneath our feet


The colors change with every step
The effect is the same
Dazzling 
Dazed
Dreamy 


I close my eyes and I feel that night
I close my eyes and I see those lights
In those lights there you are.
