The Relentless Turning Wheel

Celebration of solstice and light to come

By Henrik HagelandPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

The Wheel Turns Relentlessly

Round and round, we merely follow along

Time passes.

Darkness comes, and darkness goes

The winter solstice,

The turning point—I yearn for the light

Now, at last, passed.

Slowly, winter will fade,

Spring will make its entrance

In nature and in the heart.

Oh, turning point, be my joy!

Now comes Christmas with bustle and gifts,

And we launch the New Year

In silence or with resounding music.

So much new must grow in the new year,

And I, too, must leave a little more of life behind,

And the wheel just turns ever more relentlessly,

And we follow along.

A poet, a writer of feelings and hope. A Dane and inhibitant of the Earth thinking about what is to come.

A good story told or invented. Human all the way through.
