To Mom at Christmas



What star, what light,

What dream this night

Would take my thoughts from you?

I stay, I pray,

I believe, I grieve,

I long to be with you.

In sleep I go,

Your world to know

Your soul in place of you.

Underworld breath

Life store, death,

Frozen, broken earth.

Your love is here,

Though dark, made clear

In love we find our worth.
