The day was bright and cool,

Sunshine sparkling on the rain-wet streets,

High clouds danced away

Across the high, blue sky

The sun, golden and vanilla

 A day like chardonnay.

The night was warm and dark,

Firelight winking

Mysterious and red

Outside, the snow.

No place to go

No place we wish to go.

A night for games and chocolate

While the cold wind blows.

An evening like merlot.
