Winter Solstice

December 21st - Tromso, Norway
Journal Entry 8 - "Winter Solstice"

The nights are beginning to grow rather cold. I find my mind drifiting in the daytime and overcome at nightfall....


I am becoming ever more aware
in this hundred odd day of salty air.
Winter is peeking in through the sky
to defeat, for a while, my tepid smile.

In the eventide i have cried alone
as this pig pond feels less like a home
than any place i've ever been
my life defined by the wind.

Oh what a state i am in.


Winter is a time for reflection, and with a new wind approaching, i can sense patterns in the wind.
