Isn't it amazing
that as my part of the world turns to face east every morning
the sun is faithfully there?
Every single morning, for eons.
With no effort
No yearning
Not even a single tiny thought
On my part.
My mind could never conjure up such an idea
much less execute this way
To warm
To awaken
To illuminate
To nourish
the world.
I'm not even required to invite it.
It just comes, a gift.
Light.
Celebrating the winter solstice today, but not with my usual tradition of skiing and a bonfire. It's raining!

ReplyDeleteMy warmest greetings from the Heart of Europe. Meryy Christmas wiith your daughters and fantstic grandkids. Gosia and family.
I believe one day we are goingf to meet in Europe. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteGood Grief, Cynthia.
ReplyDeleteHave you been struck from above - the "Heavenly Guild of Poets" ???
Be careful jumping or whatever around that candle - it could fall off the table and
cause a fire.
I hope that with our lovely sauna months here for 'summer' in Brisbane, that the "Heavenly Guild
of Poets" does not descend on me.
Still I suppose I always thought I would make a reasonable poet, eh????
Winter Solstice!!!! I think a stiff shot of a good Whiskey / Scotch ( either Scottish or Irish)
should normalise your situation - maybe a couple of shots to be on the safe side, eh?
Cheers

What an interesting photo! I love it! And I snuck a listen to Claudia's flute music while I read the rest of the comments. I listened to the entire clip. What a lovely musical gift for your solstice post.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the Winter Solstice because from now on we have a little more daylight each day.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is amazing. I agree with Fubn60 that Winter solstice is always great because the days get longer from here on in! Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope to read more form you in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteI really like your poem. It is well suited for the solstice.
ReplyDeleteThat is so well put, as we bask in our summer.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful. It's just wet, windy and overcast here and your lines took me somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteThe rains seems to be everywhere.
ReplyDeleteNice poem, greeting from Belgium.
