and what is this place anyway?

slow winter

as the branches fall

we know the heart before we know the self

a measure of complete harmony

beyond estrangement

the basics of mercy

healing from the inside

faith in the exquisite flow

angels of Christmas magic

mingling in the halls of gratitude & longing

digging deep in earth to find sky

born of a stark honesty

where the ineffable & the hard edge collide

the twinkling stars behind our sorrow
