Longest night

.

It starts looking up

each day a little longer

each more bearable

Glide path

.

Within clear vision

comes the spirit of Christmas

ready to unwind

How

.

How does it happen?

blue skies above and fine rain

weather miracles

Daylight robbery

.

A walk in the dark

is not a substitute for

a walk in the park

.

by Scooj

Under my belt

.

And so it begins

first Christmas card is written

gaining momentum

Set the fire

.

Balls of newspaper

and our own home-cut kindling

time for a real fire

A memory

.

Cold winter shower

after house football at school

sadistic teachers

.

Charm

 

Goldfinches return

colours exaggerated

in bright winter sun

 

by Scooj

Daytime moon

.

Half sphere set in blue

so tiny in that context

so large in focus
