Near Winter Moon

Two weeks til Winter and we put up our tree

When I looked outside and what did I see?

 

With the excitement indoors I slipped outside

To take this picture, certainly not to hide

 

The air was cold, crisp, and every sound distinct

Just the setting I’d choose to set and think

 

But as quickly as I had come I was called in

Warm, with family, no place I’d rather been

Two weeks shy of the Winter Solstice, the late autumn gives a convincing impression of a winter sky.
