All Around the Hearth

When winter drains the colour out
Imagination gets first turn
To tell a story make up myths
In a monochrome upturn

 

Darkness carries heavy spells

In the hush of eventide

Flickering in candlelight

Where desiring cannot hide

 

The peak of darkness brings new hope

Of golden days returning

To pack away those disappearing hours

So we can hang on to our yearning
