..~•yule’s embrace

softness yields to the crisp yule air,

mantles of warmth in the glow we share.

welcoming winter’s tender refrain,

season’s close, our cherished domain.

twinkling lights in the velvet night,

eyes shine with dreams, softly alight.

we offer gifts that simmer and gleam,

love and protection in every seam.

earth mother holds us, steady and near,

we honor her spirit with solstice cheer.

a night of calm, serene and still,

we wait for the sun to crest the hill.

resting now as the world takes flight,

hidden blooms stir in our quiet night.
