in cinnamon
to accent the warmth
of our home.
Then added coffee
colored carpet,
for comfort
no matter the season.
Orange cheddar cheese soup
gurgles on the stove top
sending scents
of beauty throughout.
White snows
finally
cascade down
forcing us from our sloth.
Warm bellies
wrapped in warm clothes
we play until cheeks
glow rose.
Then return to the cinnamon room
for cocoa
and blankets
and popped corn
then closed eyes
and bedtime
and dreams.
