Glistening-eyed children gather
by the
hearth with family.
Patterns
blaze in the fire to reveal love.
Through the
frosty window icicles
hang in
winter silence as
starry
snowflakes drift on
the
whispering winds.
The branches
of the trees
are covered
in snow.
During this
season of long, cold nights
the sun
stands still, preparing
our hearts
for laughter.
