This haiku reflects on the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, and the quiet promise of returning light. It explores the idea that even in stillness and darkness, life and energy are stirring beneath the surface, preparing to rise again. A meditation on hope, renewal, and the subtle rhythms of nature.
