An Arctic Solstice

By Patricia Monaghan

Yes, friends, the darkness grows, but these
short days so celebrate the light:

today the lemon sunrise lasted the few
hours until sunset, all day the frost

glowed hyacinth and lilac on the trees.
Winter’s not a time of black and white,

the sun is not at war with night. Renew
your faith, my friends. We are not lost.

 

Patricia Monaghan’s latest book of poetry, Homefront, addresses the ongoing affects
of war on women and children. More information and ordering details
