This is me joining The Poetry Pub‘s Poem A Day (#popubpad) / November Poem A Day (#novpod) with the Day 9 prompt solstice. The winter solstice of course takes place on December 21, which is the day the church traditionally sings O Oriens.
O Oriens, we speak of Dayspring
as darkness folds us in blankets,
because we choose to recall
lucis aeternae
returns with the son of justice,
this year as the earth groans
awaiting the Light of the World.
