Winter Solstice Blessings To All

Introduction

This is my sixteenth piece inspired by Angie Linvingstone's amazing artwork. You can find her on Facebook on the link below, and her comments on my work are very positive.

The music is Jethro Tull's "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" for you to listen to as you read.

Today, December 21st 2024 is the day of the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night and we can celebrate to coming of longer, lighter days.

This is a villanelle for you all.

Winter Solstice Blessings To All

Now The Day Of The Longest Night

Hear The Bells In The Tower Tall

We'll Climb The Hill And Never Fall

See Earth Fire, A Beautiful Sight

Sing Out Your Hearts, And Make The Call

Above The Moon And Stars Delight

We Feel Gaia's Power Enthral

All Earth's Creature's Will See The Light

Now Climb The Path Up To The Tor

And Let Everyone Celebrate

This Winter Solstice Night Will Fall

Then Give Way To The Dawning Light
