Christmas Countdown 2020: 21. Winter Solstice


The darkest part of the year,
For those in the north of the sphere,
The shortest light to be seen.
***
But for those down in the south,
There’s a day of light no night about,
Just the longest day to shout about.
***
And for those equatorial people,
There’s no change in the day cycle,
Days and nights in one big circle.
