'tis the Season
We all need a dose of Christmas in June, right?
******
...for Edna St Vincent Millay
Softly shifting, drifting starkly white,
full flakes fluttering, floating in free flight,
in shadow, in the stillness of the night.
Travelers seek refuge from the cold,
warmth by the fire and safety in the fold
of humankind, fond memories to hold.
'Tis Christmas! There's joy and tidings dear
to the hearts of all men of good cheer,
and for the children it's that magic time of year!
'O Holy Night!' unites the penitents today,
and all shall kneel in reverence to pray
for peace on earth, good will to men alway!
