yule

the trees

they reach their silver arms up to the sky

hoping for a glimpse of sun

yet the sky

cold grey

offers no solace

their roots are buried in frost

we crave light, they cry

suddenly

the sun cracks the sky like an egg

sunlight spills across the joyous trees

melting into every leaf

new life blooms
