The longest night

Winter Solstice the shortest day
the wonder of the sun's rebirth
ancient voices we overhear
to share the mysteries
and rejoice another year
we gather once again
to all who celebrate this winter's day
when a phenomenon to enjoy
recalling our ancestors
they also welcomed same
upright stones await the Sun
from the lowest point in the sky
the tropic of Capricorn revered
radiance from small openings
how stunning this sight to see
as the sun arrives in wonder clad
praise to the glory of our natural world.

Author Notes
the longest night is also the shortest day,
Ireland has a long and rich mythological history. In fact, some of Ireland's prehistoric structures date back more than 6,000 years, from before the pyramids in Giza in Eygpt.
