Winter Solstice.... "a first trace"

 Low in a Winter Sky

The Sun

Glaring and Luminous

Sinks Quickly

Dark Rises

The Darkest of Darkest Night

Unfolds

Here is Wonder..

Within 

The Stark Opacity

of

Midnight

and

Deep Silence

of 

The Stone Cold Earth

There is Awakening...

Light

Re -emerges...

A Seed Sprouts

The First Trace

of 

Spring
