Winter Solstice - Celebrating Circles


amazingpics.net












 As shortest day meets longest night
we  cross the bridge of wonderment
under the heavens stars burn bright
guiding the journey to enlightenment

Arising from darkness, sun tilts its head
in mist of ancient songs, rattles and drums
fires ignite within hearts, burning cherry red
harmonious vibrations felt, universe hums

there is no better time,  and time is now
calling, calling, calling our spirit home
breathe, ahhh

Finding purpose in the greater realm of life
silver starlight streams from heaven to earth
healing waters, washing away scars of strife
aligning energies, frequency of love gives birth

In sacred chambers, we drop our heavy cloaks
within dreams the ability to walk in two worlds
nurturing thoughts,  wisdom in a forest of oaks
star beads illuminate the sky, cluster of pearls

there is no better time,  and time is now
calling, calling, calling our spirit home
breathe, ahhh

Awakening our consciousness, drink up
intuition guides , connection of knowing
tasting joys of life, sipping from the cup
expanding beltways, new channels flowing

Bridge between two worlds, Pleiades awaits
traveling places we have known in dreams
holding the golden key, opening locked gates
glowing lanterns of starlight & moonbeams

there is no better time,  and time is now
calling, calling, calling our spirit home
breathe, ahhh

Sharing with Poets United & dVerse
Poets note: This is to honor a journey 
within sacred circles celebrating the
winter solstice. Wishing you all a time
of celebrations in your hearts. Peace
and light always my friends.

    Hello my lovely human friend,

    Such wondrous pawetry thine bestowed upon my doggy eyes. The intertwining of the less light with the more dark. And from here, in this Northern Hemisphere, each day the dawn shall embrace us sooner and the night shall be that little bit shorter.

    Thanks for your thoughtful pawetry, my dear human friend.

    Pawsitive seasonal wishes,

    Penny :)

    This was really well done, especially with the... uh... 'chorus' bringing everything together? (Sorry, I suck at poetry terminology)

    The joys of life are definitely a drink best sipped. May the New Year keep your cup full and plentiful!
