Midwinter Solstice Con

As the Earth’s Southern Pole is pushed farthest Away from sun, Winter Solstice arrives. The sleepy sun's up-time is, the shortest It's been all this year, shortchanging our lives. Sol has its sway and makes the shortest day. Daylight dwindles to a feeble short glow, The sun, embarrassed, hides its face away. Knowing it's failed to deliver its show. Though darkness still prevails, its hold will wane. Sol relents, pays the rent, stays up longer. With the extra sunshine, life will regain Its vibrancy, springing back, growing stronger. From now on, every day will be longer. We can linger longer in the sunshine. Bathing in the warm rays that grow stronger, Until the Summer Solstice, brings decline.
