Ode to Winter Nights

1/1/2011

0 Comments

 
Through the longs nights of winter
   With cold at the door 
Light yourself a fire
   And try to stay warm
Indoors activities increase many fold
   Outdoor excursions
   Remain for those bold
Sitting all cozy, looking through the glass
   Knowing all this
   Will soon come to pass
A thanks must be given for all the warm nights
   For the beauty abounding
   In the white winter sights
For family and friends who help pass the time
   A warm bed and blankets
   To lay in supine

Long nights of winter
   Give one time to think
To examine what's past
   New chains in the link
The time and the freedom for skills to explore
   To light up the night
   As so many before
This time in the warm with cold knocking outside
   Is a time for great love
   Creations arise
Feasting and gifting and believing in acts
   That have us left wide eyed
   At their miraculousness

So thanks be to winter
   For all of these points
It is the best season
   I thus do annoint

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
