Winter solstice candles light holiday

Lights
Distant
Twinkle cold
Dead stars flame out
The night shivers in its lonely orbit
Breath travels slowly in the frosty air
Home glows closer
Loving hearts
Welcome
Lights

    2nd Doubler I’ve read today. Both great. Salute! I told Ken G I’d probably give one a try next week.
