Long Night Moon
Dawn’s winter sunlight
Filters through the gloom
And softly kisses everything
The loitering ground mist rises
Above the cold night’s
Bed of overlaying ferns
As the season’s solstice
Stealthily tiptoes away
From the long night moon *
* The Long Night Moon gets its name because the full moon in December occurs near the solstice, which has the longest night of the year.
