EMOTIONS IMPRINTS
No moonlight stained the inky sky
as lashing rain clouds smote
the crumbling lichen coated walls
with tarnished cross-keys set in stone.
Inside in kinship and at ease
the boisterous friends and family
stood round the glowing logs of red
as steam from sodden outerwear
ran down the diamond window panes
Fine carolling in harmony
like incense rose and filled the air
and in the days that followed on
emotions imprints lingered long.
