Midwinter Child Poem by Lynn Anne Brown

Ahhh……
Tis midwinter now
The Nights grown long
And Days been disappearing
As winter folds it’s arms around
To take us in her cold embraces
We mourn the passing of the light
and grieve the loss of sunlit kisses

And so we gather
Kith and Kin
To light the fires
And share in feasting
To tell the tales
Of the ancient ones
Who danced with light
Brought into being
The Sacred Child
The New Born Sun
Whose light we see
In Bright reflection
In the joy filled hearts
And happy faces
Of those who joined
In Celebration

So, High and Proud
We raise our glasses
And sing out praises
Lads and Lasses
For the Child
Now reborn
Whose Love and Light
Will soon awaken
That which now
Is gently sleeping
Deep beneath
The snow dressed ground

All Hail the New Born Sun!
Whose Journey Now has just begun!
