'Tis the Season…
A poem by Dave Rowe
Dec. 1, 2015
Frost on creaking stair
Leaves crinkle underfoot
Still, crisp air tickles the nose
The autumn has left its fleeting mark
Soon flakes will cover fallow ground
As winter takes its place
Trees will be gathered and brought inside
Glowing warmly in windows
Laden with lights and garlands
Anticipation and hope of rebirth
For a world rife with hardships and pain
Soon it shall come
The day, the feasts, the parties
Friends and families gathered by tradition
Bound by love, embraces, and cheer
Until the final day of the year
So it continues, this year to the next
So it shall always…

May the season bless you all,
