WINTER SONG
November comes to an end.
December brings us Christmas, sparkling, and bright.
In my winter song, I send
the ancestors' second sight
out into the world, the sun child 's warmth and light.
The winter Solstice will pass,
the Yule time log will burn in my hearth and home.
Snow and ice will shine like glass.
Living in the pleasure dome,
where war and bloodshed soak the very Earth's loam.
