READING IN DECEMBER

It tried to snow, but only rain came down
when they were reading from a Christmas book.
They felt the season’s cheer, although the town
was soaked with so much grayness that it took
imagination to discover peace
inside the weather. All they did was hold
each other close, and read, and feel a piece
of quiet happiness inside the fold
of their comforting arms. The rain still fell,
but what they read was full of warmth and bright
serenity. They read inside a spell
of joy, and rainy weather seemed a pure delight.
