Winter Solstice Celebration Idaho
Loading
   
Thursday, December 22, 2022
 

BY ED NORTHEN

 

Bears are denning

elk have migrated

swans have returned from the north

 

light recedes rapidly

an orb of lunar light

rises in darkness

 

temperatures drop below zero

everything is enveloped

in an icy prison

 

rivers have frozen

and long-tooth icicles

hang from roof edges

 

Solstice is a day of turning

when light remains

just a moment longer

 

initiating hope

the sun

is not burning out

 

longer days

bring assurance

winter will pass

 

the earth will renew

bringing forth life

as it always has.

 

Its primal worship time

of human inhabitants

to natures rhythms

 

so mountains are climbed

trails are skied

rivers are walked

 

people gather

filled with gratitude

In celebration

 

of nature’s beauty

and enduring gifts
