Winter solstice a time of darkness
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
sharing with earthweal
