A Christmas Morning Sonnet

A sliver of light appears in the distance 
calling me like a songbird in the morn 
a silent beam dotted without askance 
it was long ago that my Lord was born
every room is silent here, except mine    
soaring on tinseled dreams of yesterday  
the others sleep, while I keep vigilant time     
I want to be prepared for Christmas Day
A slip of truth slides inside my heart 
I am content to be right where I am 
waiting for a new day aside my counterparts 
living out the season best that I can 
Merry Christmas Jesus, I whisper softly, 
and to the whispering wind, I have Faith in thee.

Early mornings are my favorite time of day, when the world is hushed and bathed in the first rays of golden light, birds singing...Your honor paid to Jesus on this particular morning is like a prayer.
