The shortest day of the year
We gather to lore hear
Keep the Yule log blazing bright
All through the cold dark Midwinter nightThe longest night of the year
We gather ancestral spirits near
Keep the covens magic might
Shining spell beacon in the endless nightThe darkest night of the year
We gather all we hold dear
Keep the heart fire in our minds sight
Steady soul rhythm all through the quiet nightUntil the golden dawn of a new year

“Keep the heart fire in our mind’s sight”…this is captivating and lovely RedCat! Always a pleasure to see you at the Muse!
The folklore surrounding Winter Solstice is all sort of magic, light/lovely .. dark/spooky. Cheers.
Lovely images of fire, steadiness, and remembrance!
Keep the heart fire in our minds sight
Steady soul rhythm all through the quiet night
Until the golden dawn of a new year
A very good close RedCat. With all the worrying circumstances around, we’ll just sit tight for the next few weeks, to stay safe and to hope for a better tomorrow in the year ahead.

Excellent chant rhythm to match the imagery
