solstice to solstice :: dark
















dark

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September.
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

..... Oliver Herford

    This wonderful poem helps me: We are nearer to Spring in deep December than in September, this means for me: Sometimes we feel dark and troubled, but we are nearer to the light, than in former times, when we felt more happy and lighter. Thank you!
