Dark December mornings
Up early to
enjoy the lights on the tree,
the warmth
of the house
Up early to see
the black soften to gray,
the world
lit for our eyes
Last days
before the solstice
Up early to
celebrate the rebirth of the sun,
the coming
long days
Up early to
enjoy each bright hour,
till the low
sun wanes
Saturnalia, Feast
of Juul, Alban Arthuan
Up early to revel
in anticipation,
bringing joy
to now
Up early to embrace
life as it is given,
ride the waves of days
