December's Cold Moon

      December's Cold Moon

December's Cold Moon
Hidden behind clouds
Curtained in darkness
After ground kissed by clouds

Light hidden in thick clouds
Long Night's Moon grudgingly yields
Glow begins in the East
Dawn's curtain slowly drawn open

Last full moon of the year
Flees from sight
Displayed by sun's strength
Piercing thick cloud curtain
