Mid December

The morning of the 15th

 

and the afternoon on a walk in the sunshine

 We've already seen about 2 feet of snow.  

Then some sun and a few warm days.

 

 It's still dark by 4 in the afternoon 

but soon the darkness will give way to the light.

To Know the Dark

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.

To know the dark, go dark.   Go without sight,

and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,

and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
