Deep winter
ancient time of darkness and want
for a moment the Sun stands
still
holding silence.
In the heavens
over the tropic of Capricorn
Orion sets free his hound
they begin the hunt.
On Earth
light pierces New Grange
Oak and Ash burn in the grate
while mistletoe bears fruit
the Green Man wakes spring.
In legend
Wild women and kings
herald the return of
abundance and light
In the firmament
the sun arcs low
across the celestial sphere
before ascending
high into the northern sky
