Solstice 2017

posted in: Poems | 2

No rush, midnight, Mid-year,

mid-light, shadow free

Strings of celestial harmony sing

Slowly, bow drawn with intention

 

Hush – don’t turn away or distract the heart

An invitation to pause, listen, wait

A flame burns now, once a flicker

Returning promises on air born crystals

 

Extraordinary ordinary rotation and return

My feet firmly planted on wheels of life

Energy faithful to the cosmic dance

Ancient unaltered celebrated known

 

Weary traveler, so dark, so long

My cloak hangs heavy, scuffing snow

My eyes, now shaded, hold on inhale

Anticipation its own reward

 

There, I hear it. I see it.

I know you now, familiar friend

One minute added.

Light returns.

    Always nice to read your words of wisdom….and today I will try to remember that anticipation is its own reward.
