Solstice Thoughts

On this day of unequal measures,


Dark overwhelming light,


I pause from celebration


For some solstice thoughts tonight.





Inside, a log is blazing,


And green vines signal life.


A bard sings a song of peace on earth,


An end to mankind's strife.





I think of all the changes


The last few years have brought:


A friendship long-enduring,


The inner battles fought.





My heart knows the winter season


Better than the spring,


But it's learning about the renewal


That a gentle soul can bring.





Now I'll return to the fireside,


Lift my cup to friendship and cheer,


And let me heart know gladness


On this darkest night of the year.
