The Season

December dark,
Broken by
Electric Candlelight.
Snow and ice,
Melted by
Warmth of gas fires.
Fear and longing,
Displaced by
Gifts, food, & presents.
Stress and busyness
Halted in their tracks
By family and song.
Barren trees outside,
Draped trees inside.
The gloom dispelled by
Ultimate love,
Forever love,
God’s love.
