The Robin
A poem for Christmas, peace be with you.

The cold wind
shakes the snowy
trees and fields,
ploughed furrows
under the passingĀ
clouds of time
that gently yield,
the curve of theĀ
brown earthĀ“s
fire aglow,
upon the silent
sleeping snow.
The frosted stars
upon the glassy
ponds glow,
tears of ice
in the cry of night
warm to joy
in gentle flow,
for winter a
a red petal rose,
in the happy hearts
of children,
their rosy cheeks aglow,
in the red dawn sun
of song and silent
peace of snow.
