Autumn’s fading pulse

Winter’s joy arrives

Bearing gifts from darkness

Morning’s sky alive

Welcome transition

Wood stove’s warmth alive

Sharing gifts from darkness

Morning’s peace high-five

Clearest eastern sky

Alarm clock shows five

Yielding gifts from darkness

Morning’s grace now thrives

Crisp winter sunrise

Treasured light now thrives

Raising gifts from darkness

Morning’s spirit drives

Clouds moving away

Distant light shall drive

Bearing gifts from darkness

Morning’s breath survives
