Winter solstice wonder, this darkest night
Put to rest long freezes, short days, and death
Time to welcome back some warmth, life, and light
Winter solstice wonder, this darkest night
Urge Sol, travel back to our world of white
Bring warmth to digits, take frost from our breath
Winter solstice wonder, this darkest night
Put to rest long freezes, short days, and death

    The full moon last week was just gorgeous coming up over the trees!

    Great poem for the winter solstice, Lisa.

    So welcome, that light. A suitable prayer for this evening. (K)

    Great write, Lisa, and perfect for tonight where we are experiencing some extremely cold temps throughout NY. Stay toasty & cozy.😊
