Nature Dresses For the Holidays

Lamplight waves stretch across the river
as the snowfall casts its glassy arms across
the shimmering river.
Wreaths hung on lampposts exude cheer to passers-by
as Sol bows his head for a moment of pre-twilight
silence in this idyllic place.
Fireside chats reverberate from among the
snow-laden rooftops and the soft whispers of
falling stars cast their whispers to the early
winter winds, beneath sunset skies.
Golden light spreads its' yellow haze to brighten
a lonely snowman's evening; even the dog delights in
this Rockwellian scene of hope at Christmastime.
It's a night of peace for new beginnings
yet to come.
