Winter Night
When that cold..midnight blue canvas
Unfurls blank..before you..
When the cold outside..
Contrasts the warmth inside
When the wind
Whistles
And rattles
The window
As the snow
does blow
And churn
I
do turn
Inwards..
Into the words
That always warm
Forget the storm
The logs burning
Reading and learning
Surrounding and warming
Huddling and yawning
The type of feeling that can only be produced by
a
.....long
.........winter
....................night.
This piano concerto by Beethoven - The Moonlight Sonata is what got me hooked on Classical Music. When I was 14 I found a cassette with it and I was mesmerized by the haunting beauty..

Oh!!! Halevai that there would be snow this year!!! (That nebby flurry last week doesn't count.)
Chestnuts Friday night, cozy fires, family all together - yum!
cold weather like that feels like a distant memory... it's so hot here :P
off to winter soon though.
Beautiful poem and of course the "Mondscheinsonate" of Beethoven is the BEST. I played it on piano. My favourite piece of Beethoven....
I like the way the cold makes us bundle up, in the metaphysical sense as well as in the physical.
I love Moonlight Sonata! I am trying to stay warm down here. Hope you are too!
Mesmerized by the haunting beauty of your writing.
I am most definitely a fan!
really beautiful, the poem and the song.
its amazing how even the weather forces us into this cycle of ingesting and then digesting. summer is all about the outdoors, taking in, outgoing experience and then the winter is when we turn inwards, refocus, regroup. hard to say which is more important, but its impossible to get along without one of the two.. its great to realize the beauty, necessity of this turning inwards.
i'm going to curl up with a hot cocoa.. and your post
:)
