time of advent


a fly buzzes
never finding peace
in circles

first of advent
the single candle sways
on a kayak


blown by the storm
ice clusters
heckle on the rooftop

a crackling fire
I am knitting mittens
into long nights



too much noise
blowing a few leaves
out of the way

the days go by
in tune with the bells
time escapes


gray in gray
enchanted by the silence
solstice approches

a crackling fire
mulled wine on the stove
warms our heart
