trilling songbirds greet the dawn
on this balmy winter’s day
bitter chill’s on holiday
lovely, too soon spring

Counting the Ways
clearing my windshield at dawn
coffee for two, fixing things,
you don’t have to say a word
or three, I hear you
~kat

what need have I for flowers,
fancy gifts or dinners out,
they’re just things, silly, really,
and they are not you
~kat

identity’s not a what
yet our quick reply to who
refers more to what we do
than to who we are
~kat

hearths ablaze, Yule log crackling
chestnuts popping, caroling,
wassail in a kettle simmering
magic in the air
morning star, fairest mother,
child suckling near her heart,
hope, glad tidings, joy abound
this time, every year
silent night in Luna’s keep
rhythmic laboring waves of love
light’s reflection darkness quelled
peace on earth, go tell
~kat
It’s a busy whirl wind right now. So today you get a trio of dodoitsu’s. Have a merry Christmas if you celebrate. Peace! ❤️
