Twas the night snow white flakes melting on your tongue winter's bright flashlight.
In view no daylight.
Yet to arrive a snowbird taking
flight.
A Snowman dances through the trees you are living in a
nice cozy dream.

Winters wear is on your bones,
snowmans melted,
even with your jacket on its too cold,
stockings contain bubble gum like every year,
then Santa comes,
"no need to fear presents are here."

CHRISTMAS PROLOGUE
The moon shines on the new snow
blue-white through the firs and pines.
A night bird cries as the wind whistles
softly on the hill in a welcome ceremony.
From somewhere hazy, magic and holy,
the sound of approaching hoofs and bells.

THE HOLY STILLNESS
Shadows play on the fresh snow
as the full moon smiles and the pines bend
in the wind. Sound of footsteps, a crackling fire,
and three men with distant gifts on the slope.
A lone star in the skyline, brighter than usual.
The holy stillness before Birth in the starlit night.
