beginning for us all

out into derbyshire,
warmer than last year.

hot chocolate friends,
laughter and mince pies.

light becomes dark, a
walk, a hug and feelings of warmth with regard 2 tomorrow.

onto the party,
mulled wine and pizza.

fizzy pop and olives, smiles and
leaves of optimism by the fire.

we're in the latest longest night,
three days
and then arising.

arising, adoing, achieving,
happy solstice to us all.
