a welcoming light . makes the winter alley safe . even passing by
the crunch of the snow . underfoot, is amplified . by the peaceful night
in the darkest night there is always light, even if we can’t see it
once spring has arrived and the tree is full of leaves the night will hide it
hidden in the night beauty is harder to see and subtle when found
in the cold night air as we rush home to get warm beauty is ignored
in the dark stillness as the heat of the day leaves one bell won’t do it
