Midwinter gloom lurks in hearts henceforward—
Aye, autumn glee grudgingly whispered farewells—
Shrouded in mists, alluring yet awkward
For hearts desirous of light-filled bombshells.

With the winter solstice just over two weeks away, daylight is in short supply. It’s a time when the Ides of December come calling—made plain by the anvil chorus of chilled air, brume and early nightfall. Simple gratitude for the indomitable force of nature called light has a way of funneling a silver lining into the darkest of hours.
Hibernal Auguries
