Winer Solstice- Honoring Darkness

Whispers

Of silence

Seeping

From cracks

In stone

And wood

And wall

And womb.

Stalking

Owl,

White as

Selenite,

Listens.

Cryptic

Symphonies

Of cosmos,

Rhizosphere

Breathing.

Bleeding.

Beating.

Hearts

Like drums

From dark

Corners

Of moss

Caverns

And holy

Hollows

They sing.

All we need

To remember

Everything.

Newt

Knows nothing

But Now.

What bliss.

Cedars scent

Permeates

The stars,

Savoring.

Black blankets

Of ravens wings

Tuck me in.

I rest,

Awake.

Moon body

Watches

Shaking

With mirth

At her children

Rejoicing.

Gifting light

In darkness

Of the

Long night

For us

To witness

It all

Again

And again

And again

Just in case

We decide

To forget.
