In deepest of night
Sunlight now moves far away
Then starts creeping back.

I feel the fading
Joyous in depredations touch
Matching my stone heart

When there’s no darker
I’ll know the year has ended
And the light returns.

In this longest night
Sacrifices have been made
Without my wishes

Where is my cap stone
To seal me back in my room
Away from the light?

Pull the thick cover
Let my pillow be a tomb
For an endless night

My body betrays
Waking me much too soon,
Showing the new sight.

My arms still carries,
My feet move me onward still
Into new day plunge

Can I face the bright?
More of day and less of light?
What choice is there left?

Gloom

(I tease)

"Sacrifices have been made
Without my wishes"

indeed they have

it's part of a southern solstice tho--



"Where is my cap stone
To seal me back in my room
Away from the light?"

somewhere out there I guess...

When there’s no darker
I’ll know the year has ended
And [yet] the light returns.

The sun and moon make their own seasons,
do they not, professor?  We are too structured
to a calendar to appreciate
the natural ryhthm and internal beat
of the Mother...

and of the Father...

Good morning, Professor!

A beautiful, yet sombre, senryuic offering!
In but a blink of your eye, the days will be growing longer ~ and yes, I think you are ready for it!

Love & Sun Light,
EA
