Longest Night

The sun set, sinking early in reverence
and the darkness froze to the walls of night
and the trees nudged the sky and took off their hats
in respect
a moment of silence.
and this once we did not curse the night; 
in laughter, in music we drank his health. 
holy, holy, holy is the darkness
and the small light of our dancing.


c. December 21 2011

I know it's not really a spring poem but I remembered it and wanted to add it to my collection. 
This was my favourite longest night of my life.
