Winter Solstice

Waxing Crescent Moon at Sunset in the Yampa Valley - December 2023

​
​Solstice
​
Tabletop ablaze, myriad of tiny flames as one,
outshine the pitch of the longest night.
Greatcoats on hooks, debonair chill busters 
whisper stories of their own in the luminous candle-glow. 
My heart's tribe,
Perfect trio of acceptance, non-judgment, love,
We toast with elixir of joy
and magic that endures.
