Winter Light

Here in the light at end of day
December still upon the snow
Deep winter hush upon the bay
Silhouettes etched in twilight's glow

The earth still turning
The heart still yearning
The breath of life so steady so slow
Here at the end of winter's day
Come Thou and rest my soul

Birches and maple now lay bare
The lushness of summer long distilled
Buried within the winter heart
The promise that Spring will fulfill

The earth still turning
The heart still yearning
The breath of life so steady so slow
Here at the end of winter's day
Come Thou and rest my soul
