I.
Yuletide joy flutters
through winter's suspended light
warm spirits shimmer
II.
Masks cover faces
But can't contain our vast smiles
Fear gives way to hope
III.
Southern snow is rare
An omen of coming change
Revelation melts
IV.
The family vigil
Sends satellites into space
Tender, loving eyes
V.
Sheltering in place
Imbues the body safely
We await the Spring
VI.
This has been so hard
I extend a hand to you
In this--together
