John Lawless Poet Free verse

Silent Night - For Contest

Silent Night


A silence enveloped all
slowing the pace
of everything.

Yellow glow of city lights
shadows - following
meandering mice,

whispered hymns
roosting in the blue
ice crusted branches,

moon dancing silhouettes
pirouetting atop
drifted snow,

cool breath exhaled
upon  restless
reverie,

peace
kissing the earth
in silence.
