Winter Solstice Poem
For people of the North
this is the key moment
when the Sun lingers for a week
on the edge of darkness
Today we celebrate with lights
-- a long held tradition --
to coax the Sun back from its gloom
revealing that our feelings
are much more ancient
than we realize
Christmas lights are now the traditional way to mark the end of the year -- but come from our ancient traditions.
