Winter Solstice
………………………
The sun went down far too early today
I stomped like a child; a tantrum in my mind’s eye
wondering once again how to manage this darkness
as I desperately longed for the brightness of a blue sky
………………………………….
Another few months, another few weeks
far too many dark days with this nasty ice and snow
I breathed out a fowl scowl and mumbled a growl
wondering how to manage this cold plateau
……………………………………..
Knowing the darkness was inescapable
The warm days too far away
I yearned and begged Mother Nature for help
as I longed for light on this day
……………………………………………….
Mother Nature’s answer came a breath of wintery cold air
as she cast a handful of crystalized snowflakes my way
I jerked back as the snowflakes landed softly on my window
creating a beautiful design of snowflakes at play
………………………………………….
The wind too whispered a response with gentleness
in a low, slow, howl I heard him say
it’s time to celebrate and unwind dear spirit
Relax in these dark days, don’t dismay
………………………………………….
It’s time to rejoice and see this new gift before you
A gift of time when we can relax and let go
Let go all that no longer serves you
Rejoice in the new fallen snow
……………………………………..
Wrap yourself in the warmth of your loved ones
stock the fire till the embers are hot
Enjoy each season that falls upon up
and know it’s time to give thanks …just give thanks …for all that you got.
