Shortest day and longest night 
The beginning of the end 
The darkness gives way to sun
As we start our journey back
We rejoice in the season,
Magical Winter Solstice!...

Mixing holly with sunshine,
red, gold and a hint of green;
The rays glow, we spin closer;
Like the flames of a fire’s blaze,
beyond darkness there is light;
She will warm us all again....

winter solstice comes
bare trees long hibernation
don’t risk bleeding lips 

gardens lie fallow
field mice attempting entry
long dark frigid nights

 torrid blows covering the...
naked skins of them

 humanity cold
 frozen speechless versions of 
winter solstice frost
