Winter Solstice

Solstice Greetings,
one and all,
Hear the God
from slumber call
us into light
as he grows stronger;
once again
the days grow longer.
Hiding 'neath
Earth's white caress,
The Goddess Child
awakes to bless
us all with sun
and warmth of heart
as this year’s end
brings next year’s start.

Solstice Greetings,
one and all,
Hear the God
from slumber call!
