Poem: Yule

We wait for Yule
the shadows lengthening
the darkness surrounding us
for some a welcome relief
a chance to breathe
before a new start
the winter solstice
the longest night before
the rebirth of the light
brings promise of spring
to hold onto through
the winter months ahead
the wheel has turned
