frost glazes windows
and pale green grass
grounds lay sprinkled
with the night's flurries
crisp cold air
blankets the small town
breaths come in plumes
of milky white air
and float on away
school is out
and people of all kinds
curl up with warm drinks
and cozy sweaters
and waste away the hours
with pleasant nothings
daylight fades early
and lights twinkle on
wood crackles in the hearth
the orange glow
where all eyes can't help
but gaze
as crystallized windows
glittering the flickering blaze
and when the fire dies down
the lights go out
and dreams become
a beautiful haze
