Soon

Dreams are spinning, ideas are flowing and plans are being made. It's especially wonderful to have a big project up and running in the dark time of the year. And even more wonderful to watch it all come into focus. Soon it will be Solstice.

 Build up the bonfires, now the seasons turn
Welcome in another year and let the old one burn

Here come your sorrows, all your old regrets
every broken promise and every unpaid debt

Light the bonfires, another year has flown
Gather friends around you don’t spend the night alone

Perched on your shoulder yearning toward the flame
Pour them a glass of whiskey and greet them all by name
 
Sweep out the courtyard to greet the coming year
Lay a handsome table, your visitors are here

Build up the bonfires now the seasons turn
Welcome in another year and let the old one burn
