More than the light between fall and spring light?
More than cold light, shadow-making light, hazeless light?
More than a hint of death, a promise of resurrection?
Oh winter light, the light of my heart, what are you?
You are the light that began the world,
the light of logos, illumination, exorcism,
the light that warms, the light that heals,
the light that sparkles in my eyes when I open them wide.
