A poem for the winter solstice

 






Winter Solstice

 

Welcome to the shortest day of the year

The heart of the long, dark winter of the soul

When you don’t feel whole,

When the bowl is empty and the bole is bare

And a bear roars up at the stars somewhere

In deepest memories

That arc through the blood

Reigniting fear

As the year burns out and the world spins on

And the purpose of light is forgotten in the night.
