Christmas version-Gratitude

For empty spaces and air,

bare branches
tracing the shapes of their lives
against the wide white sky.

The time between.

Something else is coming:

warmth waits within,
hearth fire and bread,
the ones we love.
Whittling down to the heart of the wood
when we lose
what we thought
we had to have.
