Gifts From Above
They'll have been out in the early hours,
the wintery Christmas creatures.
They'll have been stalking the forests.
Searching for parcels.
Sniffing for presents.
The presents you didn't receive.
The ones that fell
off the back of the sleigh.
Yes, they'll have been out
in the night’s blue and white,
the wintery Christmas creatures,
claiming what's theirs;
the packages that landed with a thump
on the earth of their forests,
the parcels caught in the branches,
the boxes wrapped in bright paper
and signed '...with love.'
Gifts from above.
