Winter Warms by Laurie Benedict
New dew at dawn's break,
Sunlight streams through window panes.
Wonderous sights make hearts ache,
Sparrow's songs so lightly sung the ear strains.
Soaring high in clear blue sky,
Eagles recklessly tango on crosscurrent.
Knowing winter is close by,
Each dance becomes recurrent.
Snuggle warm with babes so close,
Blankets tight to sispel the chill.
No more time to be verbose,
Jabbering at last comes to a still.
Winter warms our hearts in cloaks,
Sleepy eyed and warm as toast.
Hunkered down deep beneath the oaks,
The earth mother acts as their host.
Silent snow and gentle moon,
Starlit sky shows traveler's way.
Sleepy eyes will now close soon,
Dreaming of distant summer's day.
