New Year's Day, Letter-Gorman (Winter Solstice)

The long low hills
Blanketed from the Seas
Rolling fog.

As a haste-less light
Sparks the east:
December's day dawn.

 


A Sólás river
Flowed up the Glen
Renewing the places

That in the shadows had been.
The moment was brief
Still long enough,

Confirming to all:
That the New Year
Had begun.

In the light breeze
The Sceach grove waved
As a eerie bark, to silence faded,

Towards the west
A lone red fox
Was running.
