light and dark are in a tug of war
and on the day of winter solstice
they have called a truce
stopped to take a breath
to hold hands and let the
rope slacken
to smile and share a drink
of the universe
equal for a blink of the eye
until they take up the battle
once again, slowly changing
dark to light

I love the idea of solstice being a truce between light and dark; that there is a tug-of-war between the two.
