Tomorrow being the winter solstice, I thought I'd give you your present early.
The longest night
Down the night,
through echos of bonfires,
come revels of ages
of oak smoke
and holly berries.
The yule tide rises.
Our ancestors' dreams
sluice through our genes
causing parades of afterimages
of years past.
A soul's solstice
burning in the deep night.
Midnight of the year,
a celebrants orgy of dark.

Nice work, Steve!
I was thinking of adding a line about Vitamin D and Epstein Barr Syndrome, but what do I know about poetry? Happy Solstice to you...and for your more pagan readers, blessed be.
Thanks, Rick. Glad you liked it.
Stewart, well, yeah, vit. D is a good thing to be taking at this time of year (although, as an FYI, most vit. D you take orally you pee out). And the same right back at ya.
