Imbolc

Despairing times, overwhelming worries

How to keep moving and which way to turn?

Take heart in the immense blue-brown-green-white sphere

hurtling along her steady path

with no regard for human desolation or petty burdens

She turns the bend from perihelion solstice

towards equinox

ushering in the transition to brighter days

and returns us to our humble place in this vast beauty
