IN BRIGHT DECEMBER SUNLIGHT

"Winter Thaw, Barn Island"
oil, by Roxanne Steed

In bright December sunlight, all he sees
are gifts the world gives him. Every gleam
on every leaf is sparkling with ease
for him and all of us. It’s like a dream
of absolute perfection. Even little sticks
are shining flawlessly this morning. Glee
arises from the shining grass. The mix
of light and cold begins to set him free
to be a miracle himself. He walks

in joy, and listens as the sunlight talks.
