Enga mellom fjella

Give me the morning

Give me the morning

For my cooling blood and cooling waters,
thickening grey and the lengthening nights,
gathering cloaks of the Ice Queen's warning;
give me the morning, give me your light.

Winter crawls in as the autumn flies south.
Splinters of ice join, becoming a mirror
to trap what's below, reflected above.
Calmness of death mews mute in my mouth.

Yet after the hours of cold hueless blight,
glimpsed at horizon, a globe of pale gold
breaks up the somber of shortening nights.
Give me the morning; give me your light.

ME:

I'm supposed to have a soltice poem for tonight ... so I wrote the above today, but I'm sure I have others hidden around as well. But to find them?

I ate my liver and onions, so I'm good to go.

Odd to meet someone today fron Nunda, New York. I went to school near there many years ago. We were talking about the snowstorms that can hit Western New York. Guess they are getting snow today.

BLOGVILLE

David McClain deserves a round of applause as his newest blog is #2 on the blog viewed list. His old one is #3. At #4, my old blog has 24,994 views, so very soon it will reach 25k. I ought to put a new entry in when it does reach that milestone!

My entry from last year on this day was a good one: "Awakening" .
