Solstice

Draven

Winter solstice;
be it June or December,
has always been my favourite time of year

The year's shortest day,
full of darkness,
brings me comfort,
along with a warmth that I only find 
within myself.

And for that alone,
I am grateful.

    Solstice pagan celebrations just like Christmas and Easter, love the lines

    along with a warmth that I only find
    within myself.

    Merry Christmas ☺

      Thank you. Likewise

      Celebration of the birth of Sol the sun god and the Mithras feasting.

      But we're big enough to forgive christianity for attempting to do away with these ancient celebrations.

        I'm actually not bothered either way. I actually just like the cold!

        lol
        I'm gonna borrow that,
        hope you had fun with your December challenge, not long left now
        how time flies...
        Happy holidays, dear poet

          are you sick too?
          the December challenge has been fun, I am a bit behind. This was day 20 🙂
