Winter Solstice

-- A Song of Hope --

At the morning’s first light this Solstice Day,

pale and pink over the horizon dark now against the sky’s

fading darkness, like our own Stonehenge here where we live

on the shores of Hebron, our reminder of our own time passing;

in this place, we celebrate the Sun’s slow return toward Earth,

the newness it brings to warm us and refresh our dreams

and visions, life and hope renewed in the season’s first day,

the light returning, reclaiming us as her children.
