solstice

we wake 
after the longest night 
look out at the snow settling on branches 

oblivious to 
the lengthening days 
anticipating only more months of winter cold 

yet in a few days 
we gather to celebrate light 
that candle flame in our being that waxes when 

we sing our carols 
of faith hope love and joy 
of a child born so innocent and soft so full of true warmth 

looking out with trusting eyes 
at the light 
in ours
