Where the glow of the season reveals what was once hidden.

๐ŸŽ„โœจ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโ„๏ธ

Red and green flashes, sparkling eyes,

Whispering tales that few dare speak

Bright sparks fill winter skies,

Beneath their glow, a shadow seeps.

๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโ„๏ธ

Shadows scale the darkened walls

Unopened letters on the mantle;

Confessions fill the quiet hall

Gift-wrapped truths hiding by candles

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“–โ„๏ธ

Ember's glow lights hidden truths

Photos, books beneath dust's veil;

White snow falling from the roof

Red tiles that covered untold tales

๐Ÿ โ„๏ธโœจ

Stories told by a hearth that's warm

Tales embracing hope and peace

Snow scales soft, the open roof,

Tales, now told, and minds at ease.

๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโ„๏ธ
