Holiday

Lights
To walk out and stop for a while, seeing beautiful lights decoring trees and letting you drift like a dreamer into their magical world. To watch them rising and falling like shooting stars along their destined path, sometimes silver like a star or the moon or sometimes all the colours of a celestial rainbow. On an evening walk you can fall like a dreamer into the magical places they welcome you to. Your soul is soothed, sour spirits lifted and your heart given wings. Twinkling in the darkness, bringing brightness into our lives, letting your eyes weave beautiful shapes to bring magic into your life. Walk out and let the lights guide you toward greater happiness.
