(The moons of December, January <br />and February were once known by our <br />forebears respectively as Long Night or <br />Cold Moon, Wolf or Storm Moon, and Snow Moon) <br /> <br />Cold moons of winter <br />The wolf and the storm <br />Ice crystals splinter <br />The long night is born <br />Grey shadows lope <br />Over the snow <br />Yet still there is hope <br />Though fires burn low.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cold-moons-of-winter/
