13.19 - 12.18.19

She's the sun;
She's all summer.

Bright and warm,
     Hope and fun -
          The deep and strong
     steady light
          of unhindered life.

How cold and stiff and numb was I
            until
     you rose.

Shine in this winter
     and thaw my hypothermic
          heart so
     chilled and stilled by the fears
          around me.

You remind me that I'm human
     and full
     of life.
