Deep December

Attention!
listen
can you hear the footsteps?
can you feel it approaching?

The joys of
feeling this season
as we join together
from the small babies
to the ancient bones
of so many children grown old.

Stop!
listen
to the cities breathing
to every heart beating.

Hear Christmas approaching
it is the magic of God
so children,
Listen!

    Nicely done, almost incantatory, especially with "the ancient bones/of so many children grown old," juxtaposing "babies" with "bones"--an intriguing touch.

    Indeed this is pretty unique, I like how the exclamations make this sound more personal, somehow as it's really addressed to the one reading and no one else. Also like the feeling here, very holiday-like.
    As for the experiment part of my contest, I don't think you were one of the subjects, were you?
    Thanks a lot for your entry.
