Poem told by Rykal - Atysmas Storytelling Assembly in Jena Year 2586 (2015-12-20)
Atysmas
We are all waiting, this new day.
All gathered together, to keep ourselves warm.
We look at the sky strewn with stars.
After having succeeded in driving away evil.
We pushed that back.
A few past months ago.
Now, we have gathered on this day.
To give and receive gifts alternately
We seek to be warmed by the fire.
Here, where warmth becomes the welcome.
For all that, not forgetting,
Our dear friends who could not come to greet us.
But with whom we shared such good times.
I thank them for every instant.
