Winter Visit

Winter’s Visit (Joseph’s Star) Cold As the wind Blows across the land Winter time seems very long Outlined against a gray sky Cold air brings shivers Deep drift of Snow White Wonderland Brings some heart’s delight Smoke curling up front chimney The time of winter’s slumber Weight down in pure white Comes swirling Down There’s The beauty That renews all hope With a simmer of sunshine The north wind is waltzing on The birds are singing Spring has come Home Erich J.Goller Copyright 12 5.2011 “Joseph’s Star” by Cristina R Jussaume 8 lines 1/3/5/7/7/5/3/1 syllables Rhyming optional --no verse limit Subject spiritual in nature
