The farmers greeted us with hospitality,
Weary travellers, entertained by angels;
Kinship, solely sojourners share.
We were welcomed there.
A hot meal, around a wooden table, on long benches
Simple food, flavoured with love.
A campfire conversation,
In the warmth of a home.
Built board by board, with rugged splintered hands.
We were welcomed there.
Hospitality birthed ownership
As we shared heart and light with those new friends
Their story became ours
Welcome rest, on washed worn sheets
Duvets ripped open in darkness.
Feathery snow covered our farm
The world is silent when snow falls
Humanity on pause
Sunrise on snowfall
Dazzling distraction of light on white.
Brighter than the noon sun.
Deafening bright silence
Our story of hospitality
Shared hearts, Bright Lights.
No divisions, quickly creates
A family from strangers
Bonded by light
Sunlight on snow fall
