In a night of icy rain
Icicles jingle on my window
Like musical notes
Of silvery crescendo
For earth's winter score.
The crystal decorated grass
With shimmering rain drops
Is a nurturing gift from the gods
To their distant cousin earth-
In need of heaven's grace.
Affluent with silken pearls,
The crimson berries are
Glowing in Christmas light.
The sky displays an occult
Luminosity at celestial height.
The reflective solitude of
The hazy Christmas night
Spreading calm of Nature,
Is wrapped in a chilled gown
Of amazing wondrous warmth.
This is the holy night of
Pure beauteous calm,
Of love's dripping in
Icicles formed.
May peace be upon all.
