Welcoming Winter on the Start of Winter

Among the twenty-four solar terms are

the Start of Spring, the Start of Summer,

the Start of Autumn, and the Start of Winter,

each marking the beginning of the season.

The Start of Winter on November 7, 2026,

marked the arrival of winter in the solar calendar.

Yet the days that followed still

carried a touch of autumn.

Until this morning,

when the temperature suddenly dropped,

bringing a faint chill to the air.

This morning is a true winter morning.

Roland Keating - Winter Song

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My voice: a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love?

They say that things just cannot grow

Beneath the winter snow

Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

This is my winter song

December never felt so long

'cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

I still believe in summer days

The seasons always change

And life will find a way

I'll be your harvester of light

And send it out tonight

So we can start again

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

This is my winter song

December never felt so long

'cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My love: a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

水墨幾筆 - 立冬迎冬（15cm x15cm) （2026）

二十四節氣有

立春、立夏、立秋及立冬，

各自標示季節的開始。

2026年11月7日立冬，

在節氣上迎來了冬季。

但跟著的幾天仍帶着秋意。

直到今晨，溫度骤降，

稍覺微寒。

這個清晨，

是冬天的清晨。
