Warm within a chill Midwinter’s night, Wherein the sky spills crystalline and Spectral its cascades of splinter’d light, Pil’d up in palaces that shine and Shimmer, diamond avenues to bright Halls wreath’d with radiance divine and Glass cathedrals some wayfaring sprite Or elf might trespass, seeking shrine and Shelter, stay awhile, inside our doorway. Gaze upon the dawn, converse, recline or Sleep: at home, embrac’d wherever your way Takes you. Ever may our paths entwine or Intersect, and with you evermore may Daybreak find unmelted friendship thine.
For Beckie, Christmas 2010.
