light pouring down from above

impossible to reckon from how far

this lovely December warmth

December’s midpoint

children ache for Christmas morn

still a really long time to wait!

paralysis of fallen leaves

an icy surround

neighbor’s Christmas lights

flicker and strobe

cold morning hands

steaming Christmas mug of chai

its warmth begins to fade

clean & gleaming brightly

December snow

falling lightly, lightly

the shine of the day

its warm, crisp light

bursts through

our southern window

the roundabout way

puppy lets me know

how much I’m loved

puppy’s happy face

he bounds through tall, brown grasses

oh, but the curse of the cocklebur!

earth’s axis

taut line through center core

we ebb, we flow
