Winter solstice a time of darkness

Jupiter and Saturn put on a display

in stillness, I can hear the drum

thump, thump,

    thump, thump

 

we join together in the name of peace

to heal our inner self & community

with the help of the medicine wheel

the sacred hoop

 

moving in a sun-wise direction

we are connected in the circle of life

aligning with the power of light

in unity with the sun and moon

 

calling on the four directions, father sky

mother earth and the spiritual tree

to guide us in our journey towards

change

 

our limbs bare and tired, shadows

of who and what we have become

winter draws near and we slowly

turn inward, a time of restoration

 

are your roots firmly planted in the

rich earth to weather the storms

of life,  do you drink from the well

of understanding

 

the veil of darkness surrounds us

but, we sing praises to the night

and to the light, to appreciate light

you must know darkness and vice

versa, they are connected

 

in winters sojourn, we will make

new tracks in the fresh fallen

snow, and in the spring when the

loneliness melts we will open our

hearts to new possibilities

 

thump, thump

   thump, thump

 

medicine wheel, earthwheel

we are in need of healing and

change if we are to survive
