In the heart of the longest night,
Stars whisper secrets to the moon,
As the earth breathes a silent tune,
Wrapped in the chill of winter’s might.

Shadows dance with gentle grace,
Beneath the cloak of frosty skies,
Where dreams awaken in closed eyes,
Finding warmth in night’s embrace.

The world is still, yet life persists,
In snow-kissed fields and silent trees,
A promise carried by the breeze,
That light will soon return and kiss.

Embrace the night, for it will pass,
A cycle of the earth’s own song,
In darkness, we find we belong,
Awaiting dawn’s first golden cast.
