The Winter Solstice Approaches
Less daylight, more memories
2 min readDec 11, 2023
Late Fall’s darker, colder nights warn of Winter’s approach
These longer nights have now captured more of the time
In each twenty-four hours counted as a calendar day.
The longer span of darkness fools my brain and my body
Into the deceptive delusion that Winter’s daily divisions
Do indeed last longer than twenty-four hours each.
