Winter Solstice

	The darkness descends.
	As we cry out for warmth and light,
	our voices turn to spirit-imbued song.
	Our frantic movements against the cold
		turn to ecstatic dancing.
	We take comfort from each other's warmth
		and celebrate the life we share,
		struggling to survive.
	'Tis the season to relearn the magic
	As we release our heavy burdens  
		of fear and despair.
	Joining hands, dancing 'round the fire,
		we raise our sight to the sky
		and each day,
			the days get lighter.
