Short days augur longer ones Even as the cold Alights upon the early gloom, Sailing on the wind. One feels the chill inside one's bones; Night too soon takes hold. So we light the festive room, Gathering within. Remember those long summer days, Each a little shorter? Evenings had a touch of grief Trailing behind. In each sharp turn, time delays Not only change of weather. Gripped by passion or belief, Slowly we unwind.
