The Morning After

Family, friends, food and wine
We all laugh as we celebrate 
What is actually beyond description
The feast, a placeholder, symbol
And vehicle for all our thanks.

The morning after we wake refreshed
As Sun rises bright in a clear sky revealing
Fresh snow brilliant on surrounding hills.
So much joy, so much sadness 
All around this whole we celebrate…
