Winter Solstice

12/30/2024

Perhaps
for a moment…
A hush will fall over the land.
For an instant, in the stillness
The chiming of the celestial spheres will be heard
As earth hangs poised
in the crystalline darkness, and then
gracefully
tilts.
 
Stunned to stillness by beauty
We remember who we are and why we are here.
There are inexplicable mysteries.
We are not alone.
The cosmos enfolds us.
We are caught in a web of stars,
Cradled in a swaying embrace,
Rocked by the night
In the unceasing rhythm of the Universe
From darkness towards light.
 
(Adapted from Rebecca Ann Parker's poem Winter Solstice)
