This Whisper of Christmas
by Katie Gabrielle
On this special night, look up at the stars, speak a happy wish out loud, and be a child once again...
First snow, first snow
Blankets the world
like a wish
Lights twinkling
Reds, blues, white
Christmas trees glistening
Presents under the tree
A whisper of Christmas
In the Air
Bringing Christmas wishes
to those
who believe
look up
at the stars
A whisper of Christmas
Lies in the child in us all
Just close your eyes
And believe
Happiness wells up
inside you
A joy
that is yours alone
This night
of nights
Is still and quiet
with happiness
The kind of happiness
That soars across the night
Like a shooting star
Look up,
revel in the moment
Happiness Is
Embrace this time
and listen
To this whisper
of Christmas
Watch
like a child
for the first snow
making the world
a wonderland
of happiness.
Listen
like a child
for the first happy sounds
of this night...
this whisper
of Christmas
is yours
if you only believe...

-Our Dumb World--
a bit of a satirical look at how the world spins
today--no real rhythm here just a simple poem
Our Dumb World
by Katie Gabrielle
Yesterday the world was clean and bright
We did our jobs and we did them right
The world spins slowly when we smile
It says why not sit back and stay a while
But something happened along the way
Your neighbor drove a Chevrolet
Green with envy—that was you.
So you bought a Chevy
And you drove it too!
Then across the sea a war broke out
Come over Yanks! Come help us out!
Save the world for freedom, stand by our side
We won that war but did the damage end?
More stuff to buy more fences to mend.
Is war just an excuse to hate?
Or is peace a reason to simmer
Let HOPE light the way to remind us
Who is in this dumb world anyway?
Where only rich people can afford to
Take a vacation and hard working people
Lose their homes and get laid off
Oil is dumb when a match can build a fire.
Money is dumb when you don’t need it to wake up
Each morning.
Beauty is dumb when you’re never happy with
What God gives you.
Envy is dumb when you have a roof over your head.
Jealousy is dumb when you have a happy heart.
Hate is dumb when you love.
Love is never dumb because the world needs more
Love.
Maybe if we are lucky the world will wise up
Be happy and make the best of this dumb world
of ours !

I’ve only known Katie a short time, but I have been amazed at the depth of her accomplishments. She is a published author with a great collection of books and short stories. She is an accomplished artist; her sketches are so real and lifelike. With all of this under her belt, she is an excellent photographer with a series of photos for sale on the Internet. She accepts any criticism of her work and is always striving to do better. She brings to her work the discipline and hard work of an artist. I feel very fortunate to have Katie as a contact in Flickr
