A Christmas Poem: Day 27


'Twas the night before Christmas, far to the north
Not a creature was stirring, to try and conserve warmth.
The stockings were hung by the Toyo with care,
In hopes that tomorrow they’ll contain long underwear.

Casey and Reef were both snug in the bed,
Their sleep talking and dream twitching close to my head.
Away to the window it danced a bright curtain,
The sky was alive, the aurora was certain.

Cosmic wind on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of green to objects below.
And as we nod off to this awesome sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
