9. Winter Dawn

Notes:
I love to wake and watch the winter snow. Also, to thank the weather, beautiful and slow.

When you awake and open up your eyes,
Through window glass, like mist, a sight will rise:
The snow that drifted down from heaven’s height,
A rainbow born of white—beyond all sight.
That rainbow’s made of sky, so pure, so clean,
Our little worlds are things it’s never seen.
It wishes only happiness—so wide, so free,
And oh, how much I long for dawn in me.
Sometimes I dream the world would all ignite,
Be washed away in everlasting light,
That I might see a flood come rolling through,
Pressing life’s button marked forever “Through.”
To still our sorrow, halt the grief we know,
This heavy sadness of the world below.
We’ve earned our place upon this earthly sphere,
We’ve earned it all—to live, to hope, to be here.
