Christmas in the Woods

The fallen snow
Has silenced the wooods
On this Christmas eve.

Tree limbs lined with white
As if from a painters brush
Sway with the wind.

Each new step
Crunches the snow
Begging for stillness.

Two redbirds frolic
In a wintered tree
Not concerned with weather.

Their crimson feathers
Resemble the shades
Of the holiday season,

While their happiness
Brings a warmth
To the heart.
