WINTERING CAROL

Here's a sketch for a song I wrote this evening! I wanted to give it a winter holiday vibe without being explicitly Christmas-y. Secular coziness is my vibe. A solemn and prayerful winter solstice observation. Can't wait to flesh it out and record!

Make a memory to remember

Give it harmony and rhyme

We'll go galloping through December

Hold fast through shadow time

Lilac twilight sunset burning

Lately falling into night

The wheel of time keeps turning

Go forward towards the light

As the tide wanders back

And the winter winds blow cold

May you find and mend the crack

Inside the walls of your soul

Rest easy when you're weary

And rise when you are strong

Find peace in where you are,

And know where you come from

Within every breath and heartbeat

There lives a mighty song

Within every time you tell it

The wisdom carries on

Within every seed you planted

Tended daily 'till it's strong

Within every choice a miracle

Bringing you where you belong
