Stillness of the Night

The glow from window yon beacons me home through I hear not a sound Stillness is what drifts upon the breeze late into this frosty night Falling snow whispers silently as it settles gently upon the ground While the warmth of the flaming hearth promises such a welcome delight My footsteps mark the freshly fallen snow with the quietness of a mouse Refreshing stillness envelopes me, leaving only my thought for company As I make the last few steps on my way into the house
