Winter Solstice

[image error]

Dark mornings

Twilit
chill

The
countryside bleak with silhouette trees

Snow falls

Moods
drop

And
sunshine falls off with the tilt of the earth

Bleak are
the days as the midwinter reigns

Humans
need symbols and signs to survive

Lighting
a candle

Or pleading
for warmth

Opposes the fear that lie deep in our souls

Will the sun turn away?

Will
winter prevail?

Then a
glow in the dark

Brings
hope and prevision

And meteor
showers

Proclaim
it will be

A cold
moon can’t stop the manifestation

A cycle
will end, and another begin

The
sun won’t desert us

Aurora
returns
