glitter and saffron

A Christmas of glitter, hugs, saffron and chocolates. A thick candle flickering its light towards a distant horizon. Books. Chattering people and a feeling of future.

I wore something glittery red and chattered almost as much as the others.

Now I take walks in silent, dark woods where all life is asleep. I look at lit windows and let snow and rain fall on my face. I long for light and find a sleepy peace in the darkness.

I'm not sure I did this year right but I think I did my best.
