focus blurs, there is
a softening
ice crystals suspended
mid-air, perhaps
a weariness of the eyes
thoughts of wandering
cease, this is
a time for home, hearts
settling deep in
unexpected surrender
hanging out at the pub for the last time until the new year
Yes, I agree. This is the time when we kind of settle in deep, surrender to the season, and enjoy it. Actually it is only way to survive winter for me. Smiles.
