Happy Solstice and Many Blessings

Happy Solstice my friend,a bit of poetry for you, contemplating the darkness and the light,how we head into the dark, the fear, the path, the illumination…enjoy, and may this next evolution be one of beauty, light, and the sparkle of life!2 solstice poems for you!The sun is a wheel that changes the seasonsIlluminating all that I amThrough thickness and thin spiraling,Bringing me out of the dark after that deep journey withinI know it is always there, waiting for meAs I wait for it, often impatientlyI quest for it, for its continuous glanceThe warmth of its knowingWith my curiosity of shifting from season to seasonRenewing my faith, I sit perched, like a catStatuesquely holding for that inner depth to be revealedBut only I, with or without the ball of fireAm the one to light me up, only me~~~~~~~~~Stones aligned to illuminate the house of the deadPlaced, just so, sparkling and shimmering changesAs the sun shifts in the sky, leading the way,As the light calls forthI follow, knowing I”m traveling deepDarkness begins to prevail, victorious in its heralding callTransformation looms in that fear of the unknownI perspire within that inky damp coolnessHeart palpitating with anxious participationI step forward, being beckoned to ride the railsI know that I can crack through the deadAs they lift me up toward the wheel of lightTurning the chill into a blanket of warmthCoddling me indulgently, safely, assuredlyI effuse with the heatFear subsiding and then dispersingThe stones light upI am now the one illuminated, from withinAs if the pores of my skin each had their own glitterOf assorted gradation with the sparkle of being alive~~~~~~Blessings to you…
