on icy mornings

Icy mornings, frigid nights, filled with bright and warming lights, these we cherish, these we seek, wish that they could last for weeks. Gone too quickly, and too soon, now the dishes, pots, and spoons, pile up high and must be cleaned, soon they'll sparkle, glisten, gleam, fetch my apron and the soap, sweep the rug and coil the rope. I'd be overjoyed to host, friends and lovelies, all or most, now and later, any time, I'll bring trees and you bring wine. Come as singles, groups, or pairs, take it slowly up the stairs, then sit down and stay a while, rest your bones and crack a smile. Make it cozy, grab a throw, let your cares and worries go, leave behind your troubled past, love each moment, make it last.
