Reflection's Prayer

Creamy hot chocolate
    bathes windowpanes

  Two Clydesdales trot smartly
    down cobblestone lanes

  Through the trees, moon rises
    pools of light, reflection's prayer

  Rest now, reminders 
    ~ of an era unscared

So happy to see your poem figured as POTD. Congratulations Gershon. Clydesdales are creatures of royalty, so majestic to view. Now cobblestone lanes and such horses are just reminders of a bygone era.....

Clydesdales and Cobblestones - should have made it the title. Maybe I'll change it in a day or three. Thank you, Valsa! :) gw

Gershon, congratulations on your POTD so reminiscent of a Dickens Christmas. I'm all in for the hot chocolate with marshmallows. There are marshmallows in the shape of snowflakes that fit perfectly in a mug or cup! On the lookout for three ghosts! All the best. Blessings to you in this season of light and joy!
