Happy Friday: A Poem

Istiqlál (Independence), 13, Masá’il (Questions), 173 BE - Friday, December 23, 2016 AD about 11:23 Pacific Standard Time 

High temperatures are not the norm 
As Winter wraps us in her arms 
Pretending we are Christmas presents 
Placed beneath placed beneath her Ponderosa pine 
Yuletide gifts for her to unwrap. 

Flames in a fireplace crackles 
Radiating warmth that Winter abhors 
Instead she wants us all to shiver; as 
Days grow longer 
And nights grow short, while we 
Yearn for the warmth of spring.
