On the shortest day, and the longest night
When the winter solstice appears, anew
Let us gather round, be warm in its light
While we bid, dear autumn, a fond adieu

She makes her nest upon the water
When winter solstice comes to call
Calms the ocean, silences the wind
Ever elusive, this halcyon, so small
She sleeps among the rippling waves
Then flies away, we know not when
And so we wait until the time is right
For this wondrous bird, to return again

It’s official! At 11:28AM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr
Winter, in the morn, appears
Enticing everyone, with a flurry
Awakening the slumber of snowmen
Children, frolicking, on dunes of white
Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate
While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace
Longing for the first day of spring

Cold December moon
Illuminates the heavens,
Awaits the solstice
