Alpine Solstice: A poem

Poem for the December poetry contest

A frozen halo glows softly

Above a wild white terrain

Glittering snow dances sweetly

Under the star light's reign

Placidity hangs heavy

In the somber midnight air

High upon the alpine

Above the hamlet square

Here there's no decorations

Hanging in the trees

No voices carrying sweet carols

like in the borough's streets

Not a sign or symbol

On this winter solstice night

But it can still be felt

That Christmas is in sight.
