Frost & Firelight

The north wind howls a lonely tune

Beneath the pale and icy moon

The world is hushed in white and grey

To greet the dawn of winter's day

We chop the wood, we stack it high

As griffins soar on currents high

The river freezes, hard and deep

While ancient secrets it does keep

The air like needles, pierces skin

Let warmth and comfort now begin

We wrap ourselves in wool and fur

Against the cold, a gentle purr

But inside here, the hearth's ablaze

Through frosty, shortened winter days

Let's share the warmth, let spirits lift

Embrace this harsh and wondrous gift

The frost it sparkles on the glass

But fire's glow will help us pass

Let mulled wine warm us, sweet and deep

While winter holds the world asleep

With Radiant Light, make darkness clear

And hold your dearest comrades near

We track the owlbear through the snow

See where the frosty footprints go

We skate upon the glassy lake

Watch winter patterns that they make

The halfling children, cheeks so red

Dream dreams tucked warmly in their bed

The sprites adorn the icy thorn

On this crisp and brilliant morn

The giants slumber in their keep

While winter holds the world asleep

But hope remains, a tiny spark

A Druid's Grove safe from the dark

But inside here, the hearth's ablaze

Through frosty, shortened winter days

Let's share the warmth, let spirits lift

Embrace this harsh and wondrous gift

The frost it sparkles on the glass

But fire's glow will help us pass

Let mulled wine warm us, sweet and deep

While winter holds the world asleep

With Radiant Light, make darkness clear

And hold your dearest comrades near

The nights are long, the shadows creep

But promises we aim to keep

Of tales exchanged and friendships made

While icy patterns bloom and fade
