Winter Solstice

This night is deep, silent.

Moon magic weaves shadow branches across the snow,

Weaves our changing lives

As we gather to mark this turning.

Sharp cold cracks wood at blade’s persuasion;

The fire leaps, all are welcome here

To know earth’s endless bounty

We are warmed, fed, held

In the embrace of her sacred web;

This precious glimpse of what it is to give,

And to endure.

What have I offered to this bruised and brilliant world

Since last we waited for the light’s return?

And now, what gifts may share,

In this once again new life,

Cracked open to the light, again?
