"The Blue Night of Winter"
The cold chilly wind rips through branches bare,
winter's light falls on hard ground.
Snow missed but not lamented
knowing it will come soon enough.
Time to enjoy the sparkle of stars
that kick at cold clouds
dancing across the bright night sky.

Marie, this is so beautiful. I love this. If it were legal to do so, I would marry it.
