December Poem by Kevin East

Charcoal trees stand and wait
For ashen sky to dissipate.
Dispel
This spell!
Wizard on frozen pond
-Invisible skater.
Undulator
Of choppy seas
Wave your wand
And calm the breeze
That stirs with gale.
And call the moon
From frozen jail
To light the white We walk upon.
Reveal the night
Where torchlight shone
On open field.
And then be gone!
As snowflake melts
The snowmen cry
Knowing they're the next to die.
Now starlight
Causes them to sigh.
As fires in the heart
And the hearth
Lead us down our wintry path.
Our silent midnight kiss ascends.
In gift wrapped bliss
December ends.
