At last the world is sleeping and all is right on this holy night.
Outside the ground is frozen and children look to the skies with widened eyes.
Time hangs in the air. Snow falls from the tree in the square. Everywhere it feels like Christmas
Eve.
The radio plays softly; the sound of a distant choir fills the house.
The fire is down to the embers now and all I can think to do is put on my coat and go out.
On the frozen street diamonds shatter under my feet. I’m incomplete without you.
Trying to understand how you could let go of the life that we planned. Holding in my hands the
card that you gave me last year.
