Magic Night
By THE LIGHT FRAGMENTS
In the deep silence, an expectation that repeats itself,
almost like an echo coming back to be heard.
Shadows are reflected in the frozen puddles,
while a timid crystal dances to the rhythm of the wind,
as if to begin a night that has the power to
change everything.
The night dons a soft cloak,
and a faint light penetrates where it is not allowed,
bringing life back where before there was only silence.
The roofs, the trees, the whole world are painted in white,
in a muffled, surreal atmosphere, like in a fairy tale.
I love the Christmas vibe,
I love the Christmas vibe,
with lights to brighten the night,
sparkling decorations to make the eyes shine,
and that sincere warmth that fills the heart.
Outside, the frenzy of the people moves fast among the gifts,
and the city suddenly wakes as if from a mild slumber,
while under the same roof faces and stories reunite,
everlasting bonds holding tight,
welcomed by the warmth of the very same home.
Children looking up at the sky make their wishes,
and in that reflection every rush melts away:
the glitter of a glass bauble,
the scent of wood in the fireplace,
the world outside growing small
and the wide eyes of those who dream once more.
The night is long for Santa Claus,
a great, magical work to be done on tiptoe.
But then, just look under the tree, near the fireplace:
the room is already filled with gifts and colorful ribbons,
where every expectation has found its answer
and every wish has taken its shape.
The night dons a soft cloak,
and a faint light penetrates where it is not allowed,
bringing life back where before there was only silence.
The roofs, the trees, the whole world are painted in white,
in a muffled, surreal atmosphere, like in a fairy tale.
I love the Christmas vibe,
I love the Christmas vibe,
with lights to brighten the night,
sparkling decorations to make the eyes shine,
and that sincere warmth that fills the heart.
It’s a magic night.
Silent night...
where time stands still,
and the adult becomes a child again,
in that sweet memory they have never forgotten.
