As the Winter Equinox steadily approaches
soot-grey clouds streaked with charcoal
monopolize the skies in the Northern
Hemisphere sifting globules of rain
alternately with flurries of snow
showering through the atmosphere
saturated with winter's promise of a great
accumulated snowpack to relieve the tedium
of the sullen skies casting a dark visage
over the Earth's landscape in a never-ending
cascade of brooding days, abrupt in their
departure into the bleak dark of night
unrelieved by the luminous sight of the moon
and the stars imprisoned behind those clouds.
Until suddenly the sun prevails brusquely
burning through the dismal ceiling of cloud
to illuminate its audience below bringing
with it penetrating cold and flesh-piercing
winds. Ah, but the sun, it illuminates life!
