Oh winter, you arrive with smiles and heartfelt reminiscence! The winter solstice darkens our door as the North Pole tilts away from the sun Yet, in the darkness

Oh winter, you arrive

with smiles

and heartfelt reminiscence!

The winter solstice

darkens our door

as the North Pole

tilts away from the sun

Yet, in the darkness

the light of the world

guides your entrance!

The sun rests

but light still glows

the light of our hearts

and souls

as it forms well-wishes for peace and love

Like fairy dust in the wind,

our invitational intentions

wrapped in twinkling light

warm us

settling down to blanket the earth

with hope

and prayers

and expectations

of what is to come

The divine nature of your presence

exacted by design

births an energy

not easily contained by mere mortal hearts

and lights the way

to celebrate

life

love

and the beauty of silver and gold lined dark nights!
