At this time of darkness,
Where the nights feel never ending,
And the world feels broken,
We can often forget our humanity.
***
We try and push the dark,
Into a space in the back of our minds,
And keep thoughts of wars,
Suffering and pain for the new year.
***
So we light the last candle,
And bring to our minds forefront,
The thoughts of peace,
And what part we play in the world.
