Virginia wears frost and morning snow
lightly, as if friendly with winter
as wary neighbors are of each other.
The rime turns diamond in the sun.
Our exhalations become winter air.
We feel the deep damp cold despite cloaks.
Like fireplaces on returning indoors
after snowball fights and snowman building,
friendship warms us specially at yearend.
We joy in the fire of good fellowship,
the trust of long years sharing good work,
the knowing of a New Year full of promise.
