December
Evergreen and pine scent wafted
from the deep woods
a cardinal perched on a holly branch
seemed a staged holiday greeting
the crunch of footsteps
interrupted the hushed silence of snow
wood smoke from a cheery hearth
beckoned weary travelers
laden with good cheer
as whats left of Fall
wobbled off into the chilled night
gobbled up by winter
