The work of winter


As we begin again, this annual cycle,
of losing light, and losing leaves,
it's time again for stillness and reflection --
on what was lost, and what we hope to gain
as darkness closes in, and chill pervades.
What will be the work of the winter to come,
the work that keeps us occupied and warm,
that fuels creative fires and brightens life
in the absence of the sun?
