Horizon bruises into black and blue,
Battered by the turning of the seasons,
The harsh patterns of the coming solstice.

A time of sacrifice, of old things dying,
Even as they are renewed in the phoenix
Flame of change and decay.

A great, vivid opening; the first stanza stood out on first read. However, after a few more, I find the ending intriguing too. The bigger things can often be said in the fewest words, as you have done here. Nicely done! Steve
