in the shadow of Christmas





in the shadow of blinking Christmas lights
            of holiday parties and celebrations
surrounded by gift shoppers
            and promises of peace, hope and joy

it is winter in my heart

i am the cold, cloudy days
            the damp leafless trees
            the stark stillness of the night sky
            filled with longing

so . . . Holy One who knows the seasons of our hearts
            be the sunrise that warms
            be the breeze that freshens
            be the light that illuminates


and help me give birth to Your Love that is ever deeper and more sustaining
