On a December night,
Does and fawns tread light
Over newly fallen snow,
Under full moon glow.
No twinkling lights abound
On country roads, no sounds
Through bare trees.
Where silence quietly
creeps.
Sheltered within a warm home
Beneath starry night dome,
Children settle and sigh
Under a dreaming December sky.
A nice cozy spot as away the fawns trot
ReplyDeleteWell done, Pat. Seeing deer prints across our snowy fields was exciting for us.
DeleteHow lovely! I like that no twinkling lights abound in some places. Much as I adore cairy lights, the woods are dark and deep without them.
ReplyDeleteMoving from city to woods is a big adjustment, a good one.
DeleteThat was really nice! And only the wildlife should be out on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteThat must include reindeers!
DeleteA magical Christmas Eve....the stars are really all the world needs for twinkling lights.
ReplyDeleteStars clearly visible are an amazing sight.
DeleteTwinkling stars are always magic.
ReplyDeleteWe love the first stars at night, and how more appear as darkness descendes.
DeleteLovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing such stars in a dark countryside is astouding.
DeleteDecember can be magical what with the lights in the sky and the twinkling Christmas lights that surround us.
ReplyDeletethe lights certainly enthralls us all.
DeleteYes, magical, time to re-read those classic children's books with a Christmas story.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I read 'twas the night before Christmas..can almost recited word for word at this point!
DeleteI like this, I'm picturing children snuggled under quilts as the night silence wraps itself around them.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly the image I wanted to create. I still have one of Mom's ancient, handed down, wool quilts.
