Winter Solstice pulls at me,
brings yearning for the dancer
I can no longer be,
but as the Long Night rolls its ends
to close
I will toast the season still,
in mead to mark
another year until
in Halls of Old Valhalla echos fill
with greetings from long absent friends.

Those echoes seem louder this time of year - and more welcome with each year that passes. Love this write!
