QUALITY TIME

Written: December 23, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud

              ************

A quiet sigh as snow covers time
Candlelight dances quietly
No rush, we sit and enjoy calmness,
Your carol blends into the night
Time stands still when you're around
Stories are spun as threads near fire
Even shadows draw near to hear
Time itself is like an unopened gift
Season's charm lies in being both linked.
