zero degrees
full sun
fog
hard ground
light covering of snow -
at last the winter has come
after warm and
dreary days

how the fire brightens
when the cold is down,
how rich the heart
to have a home
when being outside
for length of time
will kill you

hot cut of tea, ease,
washing on
dishwasher full
all is well
my cupboards are not bare
my heart is not empty
my life is not done
