A Cold Dark Night

there's just something about
a cold dark night
that seems to bring about
an incredible urge to write
              so many stories can be spun
              from this one mysterious line
              many adventures have begun
              at this magical starting sign
frosted moonbeams
reach out to send
frozen dreams
to loving lend
              a portal to the muse
              of the cold dark night
              inspiration can't refuse
              her soft cool light
it's absolutely amazing
how a night dark and cold
always ends up blazing 
with countless stories being told

Really nice Christy and so true. Dark and cold outside, inspiration flowing inside where it warm. Though I believe your talent shines no matter what time of day or what the temperature is outside. Wonderfully written my friend.
