December Hope .
Through mists of December grey.
You light a candle,
it’s flickering first
before it finds its steady flame.
Slowly you start to distinguish
the contours of everyday things,
familiar, yet with new eyes
never the same.
It will be a long grey
but a promise is here.
Gently you cup your heart
to give thanks to the
coming of a new dawn.
The return of the light.
Within and without.

Happy Solstice, Everyone! As the longest night passes, and daylight lengthens again, may you be reminded of the light of the connections that helped get you through these times; may you honour the parts of yourself that have had to make hard choices, and the wisdom gained through such; and may you have space for hope. #solstice #returnoflight #timepasses
