Winter Solstice Prayer Poem
Whisper of the Longest Night
During winter, we seek light,
A warming grace, in longest night.
We stand with hands clasped tight,
Wishes planned, hopes in sight.
We whisper prayers to the Lord,
For sun’s return, world restored.
Hope flickers like a slight flame,
Guiding us through solstice's claim.
Let earth in slumber lay,
Dreams of spring's caress sway.
Bring back the light, owner of the wheel,
With your nod, let the world heal.
Lord of winter solstice, hear our plea,
We honor this sacred decree.
With every star in the sky,
We await dawn, spirits high.
May nature’s cycles forever turn,
From darkness, let our hearts learn.
Cherish the light, transient and bright,
On this longest, holiest night.
