Winter Solstice Memories1

Flicks of light
reflect from tumbling leaves,
as starlight dances to the ground
autumn gives birth to winter.

Blue-gray clouds protect
Last minute Christmas shoppers
From the sun's cold rays.

          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful winter morning.
          ...that I am one of the winners of "Invalid Item"  with "Caroling Stars" .
