Gifts

What is there left to say to me
that winter night does not already speak
with gifts of stars and moon,
pure white snow and wishes 
said upon those shooting stars?

Ah, you say, the gift of home
tucked in summer valley green
beside the babbling brook
speaking the language of love.

Hello Chetta, I loved how the closing image of home by the brook is tender and timeless, grounding the celestial in something deeply human. A beautiful seasonal meditation. Holiday Blessings, Dear Chetta, Daniel
