I Thought of Many Things

White Christmas lights glistened I thought of many things Times I hadn’t listened To my inner soul that sings I saw reflections shine In the window at me I thought of what is mine To be grateful to see I imagined a song From the silence, emerge Waiting in the dark so long Patient, ready to surge The light, the dark, the new… Born by will to endure In all that contrast brings I thought of many things Heidi Sands 12/18/22
