THE LONGEST NIGHT
AND THE BRIGHTEST MOON

from Peter Harris
Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School

We lit our lanterns and waited excitedly.

Soon we were on our way.

We journeyed past dazzling fire dancers.

Orchestras played beautiful melodies.

In a circle by ancient wetlands, dancers told us stories.

Spirits of Light looked down upon us.

Under a bright moon we celebrated the cold of winter.
