• Quick kisses of light and a flurry of hugs,
    Wrap around the body in a unparallelled flood.
    Lights dance on the frosted abyss,
    A inky darkness, too close to miss.
    No stars in the heavens, only a feather light bliss,
    Float down to the earth in their moment of birth.

    The chill of the wind, the bite of a winter frost,
    A merry red fire, hidden in the hearth.
    The soft shine of ornaments gleaming from a tree,
    Sing a unheard of peppermint melody.
    The clouds pull away from the unending universe,
    The snow glitters under a full moon's countercurse.

    The stars imitate the cold icy blanket,
    From above they send down small little pinpricks,
    A small thread to weave in a spotlight of silver glitter.
    The clock ticks on with relentless speed,
    Outside there reigns a perpetual freeze.

    The snowflakes have ceased the wintery foxtrot,
    The soft pink of dawn eases over a windy hopscotch.
    A midnight snowfall has seen its end,
    Never to come again.
