Silence of a winter’s eve,
ensconced in snow white gown,
While in the distance lights grow dim,
Across now sleeping town,
No dogs a barking; cars a honking,
Nay, not a sound at all,
As tracks of snow-hare dot land’s scape,
In midnight’s frigid fall.
Crystal flakes touch window’s pane,
Translucent shines the moon,
Through frosted glass onto oak floor,
While I in quilt’s cacoon,
Reflect on winters gone on by,
On winters yet to come,
My eyelids close in night’s repose
And I to sleep succumb.

No dogs a barking; cars a honking,

As tracks of snow-hare dot land’s scape,
In midnight’s frigid fall.
Crystal flakes touch window’s pane,
Translucent shines the moon,

Through frosted glass onto oak floor,
While I in quilt’s cocoon,
Reflect on winters gone on by,
On winters yet to come,

My eyelids close in night’s repose
And I to sleep succumb.

Tim,

This is quietly reflective, a good
mood poem.
