CAROLING IN THE COLD
Ah, the evening tastes
like Christmas...wonder
and awe settling on the face
like dew
Through shadowy trees
a dying fleck of sunlight winks
and cold air tweaks
the cheeks
Shivering, puffs of breath
surround, coats and muffs
pulled tight, feet numb
in the powdery snow
Yes! Caroling in the cold,
sniffing woodsmoke on
the drift while joys to the world
spill heartily into the night
~~~
May that singular joy be yours
this beautiful holiday season...
Peace and love to all of you
and safe journeys always....Jo
