winter

                The moon hangs like a sparkling ornament  

                            Stars like Christmas lights  

                             Natural beauty adorns it  

                   The sky a blank canvas for winter nights 

                                   Snow has yet to fall 

                      Creatures tuck in from the cold  

                        Desiring a reprieve from it all 

                           Stillness, a sight to behold  

                       Warmth versus winter inside  

           Under blankets, eager children reside
