Think of all we could have missed.

 

all of the stars in the heavens
stare at themselves in the river
none more vain than the other
moon looks on like a mother

wind says to tree, says to window
"sleep - go to sleep, go to sleep.
dream sweet dreams and remember;
snow falls deep in december"

December, by Portland, OR musician Rachel Taylor Brown, from 7 small winter songs, a 2007 album of music that was written in one day and recorded in three.
