Heading North

Off into the deepest North
At the pole an arrow points.
Santa's village this way it says.
Tiny figures franticly bustling'

Only five months left
and mountains of presents
still to be made and wrapped
then loaded onto Santa's sleigh.

All the children dreaming blissfully
seeing that red nose sparkling
and hearing the whoosh 
watch Santa looping the sky.

Scattering snow flakes
far and wide in his wake.
The moon beams down
and the north star twinkles.
