Solstice Poem by Midnight Clarity

Solstice

Rating: 5.0


The shortest day arrived
to spend its solstice silver
in a flash of light and bustle
as the Christian Mass loomed near;
now, just two days later
the eastern sky already
shows the signs of sunrise
with sailor’s warning streaks
woven through the blue
to make a tapestry of light
returning to the world;
quick sacrifice was made
to close down winter,
return the land
to warmer, softer hands
so my green world
stays green.
