Early

I awoke early this morning
Sleepless in the wee-hours
the night still lingering,
the dawn struggling.
I didn't have to be awake,
holiday has granted me
the privilege of
uninterrupted sleep.
The light revealed
the world around me
covered in millions
of small ice-crytals;
like God's breath frozen
on the intricate tree branches.
What it means I do not know,
but it is a subtle reminder
of how beautiful things
can be, even in our fallen world.
