Winter Solstice Blessings To All
A Villanelle For The Winter Solstice Inspired By The Painting By Angie Livingstone (The Glittering Fox)
Introduction
This is my sixteenth piece inspired by Angie Linvingstone's amazing artwork. You can find her on Facebook on the link below, and her comments on my work are very positive.
The music is Jethro Tull's "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" for you to listen to as you read.
Today, December 21st 2024 is the day of the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night and we can celebrate to coming of longer, lighter days.
This is a villanelle for you all.
