Here is common cause for celebration As light lengthens, harbinger of spring. Perhaps the cold will be of long duration: Patience, for you know what time will bring. Yearning is the partner of sensation, Heightening the glory of the thing. Open, then, your heart to dark December; Listen to the silent turn of time. Infinity is scattered into embers; Deep within the void the remnants shine, As distant and as cold as you remember. Yet here, near zero, starts the upward climb, Sensing the sweet downward days of summer.
