Everyone Writes a Poem about the Winter Solstice

Everyone Writes a Poem about the Winter Solstice

The moon is falling away from the full

The axis of the earth will briefly pause

Planets and stars align as the Maker wills

And we wonder if we can sense our world

 

Our world as she shivers across the night

We must light a hilltop fire for her

So that she will spin the light back to us

While we search the heavens for that star

 

That star that led us to a stable long ago

And now bathes our souls with its silver glow
