My Poem, Winter Solstice

 

Winter Solstice

Come rest inside with me, my love,

the full moon wanes in the sky above

 

The wheel has turned, the night is long,

the Ancients chant a Solstice song

 

Oh moon! Oh stars! Oh darkest night!

Make clear our thoughts, make clear our sight

 

Release our hearts, release our minds,

from all that’s passed, from all that binds.

Our sorrows dropped on shadow ground,

we’ll walk away, not turn around

We'll leave the past where it belongs,

in Earth's dark soil, to join the songs

of all who lived and all who died,

of all who loved and all who cried

We’re not the same, but we come from one,

let’s meet at dawn to greet the sun.
