Dwindling light
a dying sun
as the days grow shorter - what is happening to the giver of life
the torch to guide the hunt
the bringer of our food
and the mother of our crops!
The symbol of life and hope for the coming winter months is dying!
Honoured and worshiped,
the sun is our God
we respect. - we show great devotion!
When comes the winter solstice
that a season of celebrations
the shortest period of sunlight
the longest of all nights,
so comes there an end
as well as a beginning.
The cycle of birth,
death and rebirth
earth’s rotations and seasonal markers
each season being a vital part of lifes 'wheel',
circling
coming and going
giving to
and taking away!
The winter solstice,
look forward to the days of sunlight
re-birth through light
come the days of plenty.
Let us celebrate with fire
feasting and drinking!
Burn the logs
decorate with ever-greens
bring mistletoe
pines and holy - let our community celebrate!
Through kinship
a survival.
Through sunlight
a re-birth.
...look forward to the light!
