A Season’s Embrace

The air hums soft with winter's song,

A gentle tune where hearts belong.

Frosted panes catch candlelight's flare,

While whispers of joy fill the frosty air.

Tables laden with stories, not just fare,

Echo the laughter of love laid bare.

Families gathered, near and far,

Under the glow of a guiding star.

But shadows linger in corners still,

Of those we've lost, whose absence chills.

Their laughter, now an echo faint,

Yet in our hearts, they leave their quaint.

Snow falls softly, a quilt of white,

Wrapping the earth in tranquil light.

Each flake a story, unique, complete,

As memories stir in its quiet retreat.

For those who wander, miles apart,

Home lives within a steadfast heart.

Tradition’s call transcends the sea,

Bringing them close in reverie.

And so, we dance through winter’s art,

The fragile threads that bind the heart.

With every cheer and every tear,

The spirit of the season draws us near.

A moment fleeting, yet timeless too,

A tapestry spun from old and new.

In this embrace, we find our place,

The holiday’s glow, a warm embrace.
