Winter's Pace

When winter comes life's pace does slow
with time to contemplate the sky
And watch the sun move in its course
towards the springtime by and by

To gaze upon the moon and stars
in cloudless skies on frosty nights
In woodsy silence on the hills
with all the country 'round so bright

A time to sit by with a glass
while winter rages with it's storm
By woodstove where the juniper
heaves waves of heat out all around

A glass to share with some good friend
to speak of things that used to be
To speak of those whom once we knew
when we were young and strong and free

A time to read, a time to write
to mellow as storms have their fling
A time to wonder on it all
as we look forward to the Spring
