Winter Blues
Winter blues are the soft pastels peeking through the clouds by day
and the deep hues framing a bold brilliant sunset.
Winter blues are the sparkle of fresh snow glistening in the moonlight
and the subtle shades of a spruce tree making each one unique.
Winter blues are a warm, cozy sweater that lifts your mood
and the blanket you keep nearby to share with loved ones.
Winter blues are a mug full of cocoa to warm you inside and out
and one of many colors you see as you sit near a fireplace.
Winter blues are the beauty of nature and the comforts of home
when you slow down enough to enjoy them.
(According to the candle it's still fall but since it's been so cold here lately I am ignoring the calendar and posting this today.)
