A New Moon Solstice Poem:
When I go inside the winter of my own being
touching the places of cold and dark
when I soften to the snowy places of my heart’s longing
I find ease
Solace in this Sanctuary of Earthly Creation
I rejoice with all my Brothers and Sisters
Hoping that each may find this Peace in their Beings too
This soft freedom of Breath’s warmth
Where no one or thing can take away from the greatness of being
Human, where all the love and what was once shame as mistakes converge in this holy darkness
Where all that is experienced is Welcomed
Where all the fears soften in the sound of silence
within the breath’s guidance
Where all that wants to be loved is held tenderly
and lifts, flutters and springs for buoyancy as the time shifts and the days begin to grow long again
