The road was long, forever flowing, Many buildings sat beside. Some were proud and strongly glowing, Others cringed but could not hide. The windows were in moonlight shining Glittering elusive white Fully clear they were, but signing Chilly challenges to Night, Living shutters to my sight. From the cold a cottage beckoned 'Though its window blinked in wrath. The night was cold, in but a second l was on the grassy path, Heedless of the aftermath. I trembled with a lonely chill, But qualms were melting as I neared. l put my face up to the sill And found the window disappeared. JOYCE GARTER l illllllllllllll JIBNLQVQLL
