The Feast of Lights

Irish chocolate steamed pudding with hard sauce

The Feast of Lights so ancient a celebration Following the winter solstice as the sun creeps up Long before the medieval church conclave Determined to coincide that birth date with Yule. The promise of life everlasting How sweet like a sugar plum fairy As real as Santa Claus flying reindeer The believers enjoy their happy thoughts. Virgin birth as a form of parthenogenesis Something that garter snakes can do Like the one in the myth of the Garden of Eden Manifesting the female power of creation. Everyone dies of course Individual lives are transient moments Life goes on like an endless progression of waves No matter that it is not all about us. There is no joy to the world in false promises Though the future is very bright indeed When science increases our understanding How to make the world a better place.
