Winter Solstice

Low sun bleeds pale gold,

Spilling across the unwashed sky

Bleaching everything it touches,

Leaching life and colour.

Bare trees fade to cry,

Weak and feeble rays

Diffuse and ineffective.

Tired, worn world waits.

Time

Stands

Still.

Suspended between past and future,

Fear and hope,

Evil and good,

Darkness and light.

In this moment poised in eternity

Anything is possible.

The sun stands still

And waits for an answer.
