Stars shine bright this night
Like diamonds laid in sapphire.
What then is the moon?
What lights up the sky?
This is neither star nor moon.
Come, Emmanuel.
Snow is in the air
Neither seen nor felt, and yet
Brings sweet memories.
No, love is not love
Which alters while it faces
Times of pain and fear.
Where is Orion?
He brings the next year, midnight
Crossing thresholds too.
What say you of night?
Is it sweet or full of fear?
Can it not be both?
No room in the inn,
And yet, does it not make sense
For one so humbled?

Haikus are pretty easy. So I made several. For DFC day 17: [link]
