The Embers of December
Starry glow, the Longest night
blankets the Earth in sweet sleep.
The Solstice Blessings, bright
burrowing in our hearts, so deep
Now keep us ever healthy
happy, grateful -and wise.
Humble, nourished, wealthy
enjoying wonder and surprise.
Thanks and glorified praise
to the divine seasons passed,
all those fleeting nights and days
that simply could not last…
Now welcome the Sun’s return
within glowing candlelight
fragrant Yule logs burn
piercing darkness… a joyful sight.

Today I’m home literally sweeping the hearth and tending the fireso thankful for such love
