The Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice
Journeying around the sun,
at Yule, she turns furthest from the light.
Here In the dark of the long night she is veiled,
and here she comes to the fullness of her union with creation.
To enter is to hold Death closest to our heart.
And as we do, we gently move through the veil .
Slowly we come to a clearing, deep stillness is around.
Our Journey from the sun has come to its full.
And in rare quietness we sit,
time is no more
Here in this place, we gently slip into the void
and bathe in the energies of creation.
when we are cleansed, and fully drunken from the cup,
she continues on her journey around, and we edge back closer to the light.
slipping out through her veils in birth, we are new, and journeying to the sun.
There is a beautiful audio lecture to go with this poem. Its about the energies of
this time of year and their relationship to the breath. -
