Steely sky seeps soft snowflakes
gathering like a gown on green grass
untouched, virgin, bright white
Animal paw prints appear, pathway
across, birds beaks seek suet balls
birdsong greets our ears, joyful
Late sunrise darkens days, waking hard
early sunset evenings are warmed
by flickering flames of hearth fires
Church bells ring out to greet the morn
the day Christ was born, everyone celebrates
first day of longer light, day of my birth
