"This First Peek at Winter"

Bundled in our blankies, hood and hat snug in place,

the amphibious orchestra marks the night with its grace.

Perched in our chairs, my hubby and I, tip our heads to revere,

a sight not seen near, in hundreds of years.

As wonders would be, the clouds disappeared,

to reveal the beauty of our celestial sphere.

So perfectly hung, in the sky far above,

she soon took her cover, just as lovely as ever.

While darkness arrived, the stars came alive,

twinkling and falling, for all to imbibe.

Our eyes filled with splendor, our bones feeling chilled,

we wander inside to warm our cold little toes.

Now snug in our bed, just settled in,

we're ready for our first cozy sleep, of this winter.

Evenings like this are meant to be shared,

I hope you and yours, were equally paired.

For my darling husband, who gave up his warm chair, to usher in this new winter with me.
