Dark December Mornings


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
