through gaps in tree line
sunrise reaching inside house
warming depths of soul

through gaps in tree line
sunrise reaching inside house
warming depths of soul

little late this year
blooming when days are shortest
the Christmas cactus

late night visitor
casting her light through skylight
I capture myself

only in winter
when the trees are bare of leaves
do we get this view

feeling so weary
bright lights picking up spirits
not farther to go
