A Winter's Night

Light is cast from the Lantern,
         Swinging in the lonely wind.


Shadows grow,
Dancing together with the trees.


Snow
         falls.


Swirling.



The ground shimmers,
a carpet of frozen crystals.

A chill sweeps through the forest.
       Frost following close behind.


Your breath hangs in the air.


               Drifting.



The sun bows his head to the moon.
A silent good night.

Blue shifts to purple,

Then fades to black.

Stars paint the sky.


Shining,
            Shining.
