TEXT
Snow and shadow surround us
Earth is cold and still
Guided only by starlight
Days overtaken swiftly by darkness
The trees sleep and the moon hides
This Winter Solstice we take the time
To look inside our shadows
We’re not afraid of our darkness
We’re not afraid of the hidden places in our hearts
Tears fall as we remember
We write it down, we hold it close
And then we let it burn
Watch it turn to light in the fire
Release into the night
As it dies with the Earth we are reborn
We become barren to return to life
Rest now, and the Earth rests with you
