Robin At Winter Solstice

Robin our treasured

winter greeter;

brings messages

whispered,

In holly and ivy garlands,

that silently bathe in blanket of snow.

Victorians understood

this friendly welcome;

melting hearts with eager glow,

robins of old with cheery red

bringing hope to one and all.

Bold nature with

human compassion,

though sedentary life

sets them free;

this bird brings aspiration

of optimism to each person

who believes creating gives energy.

When plunged into nighttime,

to those twinkling stars robin sings;

sensing magic in woods and forests

with the mystery that it brings,

remember on Winter Solstice

as sun approaches its rebirth,

robins are the ones who

bring peaceful spirit,

deserving early worms

from Mother Earth.
