Christmas

Weak short light
masked by shimmering
artificial lights.
We struggle with the dark.
It's cloak deprives us of hope.
We coorie

and retreat.
But that provides only temporary consolation.
We need a greater light.
One that shines
In the darkness
and can't be extinguished.
We use the darkest time
to celebrate
the greatest light.
But he remains
whatever our
seasonal location.
