Freyja of the Night

Winter dark...solstice etches itself on texture of bleak silhouette ebon in fervor...cycle’s lymph grips the inked winds halving the cleft between old eve and fresh sunset as morn falls on dry ice...asleep, yet kismet unlocks ...creatures reap harvest of new moon’s oath...to keep. We call to you oh Mother Night through dances bold... in purity, a circle cast in pearled delight from dusks impressed by sanctity our candles burn for life’s bounty lyrics ole trill...magic-soft elements fuse...an alchemy of holly sheen to ride aloft. Freyja, one with Mary...bewitch within the dark of darkest night we dance the fire with trimmings rich, your blessed radiance... stars ignite as womb brings forth...a child of light one tender spirit filled with worth a promise of new Yuletide bright the gift of word...made flesh...son’s birth! ....... ... ........ Happy Holidays of Debbie Guzzi by nette onclaud Modranith:Freyja ( Norse Goddess associated with Mothers' Night) * end /near rhymes intended

The way the images come together form an elevated, chant-like hum reflecting the depth of your poem.The last stanza is a great finale of a holy ritual, " son's birth". I admire your style!
