birthday poem

roses and gold
the little white prayers
while i stood listening, discreetly dumb
night was black and drear
through the broad earth's aching breast
softly now the light of day
i am singing to you
a thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
above them all, looking down
the snow whispers about me
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
awful truths these be
the body may confine
with joy and wonder
