Wintry Light-Wreath

Hoped to see the northern lights, but

I cannot spot a star -

clouds of tinsel gray cover the sky.

**

Warm gingerbread cake,

melts in my mouth,

while gazing at the balls of

mistletoe grasping its host,

a woody skeleton cheerfully

sharing space to a rent-free

tenant, one that gave birds shelter,

bee's pollen and fed butterfly nymphs.

**

A surprise peeks from a sky porthole,

as the moon shoulders her way

squeezing through the drab.

A crack opens enough for her smile,

and the show-stopping star of the sky is an

oval of ethereal glow -

a wintry light-wreath encircling her shape.
