Without a Trace

The new fallen snow is melting, dripping all about.
The ups and downs of the weather upon us, no doubt.
The fog here has mostly lifted from trees and mountainside.
Only darkness now where all the animals do hide.
The neighbor’s colorful Christmas lights are so bright.
Nice to see them shining through this wet, soggy, night.
The woodstove brings comforting warmth, in this cozy place.
Settled quietly in my home as problems leave without a trace.
