On a cold winter night

In the clear mauve sky of a winter evening
Smoke rose from the chimney pot 
No wind disturbed it
It was the beacon guiding me
Walking towards home
Up above a sliver of moon 
Kept me company in the crisp dwindling light
I knew warmth would welcome me
Table set and a warm dinner waiting 
What else can one ask for?
Comforts for a winter night
Start by a roaring fireside
Seated in a cosy armchair 
A book in hands
Some baroque music in the background 
And the world is encompassed
To a few characters on a page.
