in the presence of joy

silence surrounds rustling tinsel
the true meaning of christmas
left yesterday

gasping for breath
tears of loneliness
glimmer a memory
shining a sad smile

with a rising glance
A miracle appears
as each drop falls

I love reading short poems such as these because I find that they are the ones which that pack the most punch. It took me about two tries to make a conjecture as too what happens in the end of the poem and it was very well done. I also admire the opening line of your poem; I myself believe that the opening line is the most important part of the poem for it is responsible for catching the readers attention. All in all good job, I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
