Catharsis

Christmas came early
This year
Love, joy, and peace
Finally flowed
Say with me
Amen then
Hallelujah*
To hell with it
Celebrate, won’t you


*in the words of the immortal Leonard Cohen

I did my best; it wasn't much.
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch.
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!
