Midwinter.
These Solstice days - when time is frozen.
The Sun stoops - low in the cold noon sky
Before turning his face quickly Southwards.
Leaving us to contemplate the gloaming.
As compensation for his fleeting visit.
All creation is waiting -
watching for signs.
The Moon - suspended.
Fullsome and ready to give birth.
A pregnant pause
A pregnant pause
In the stillness - we can listen for our own voice.
In the darkness - we can search for our own light.
In that space- between the breath - we can begin to renew ourselves.
And then - slowly - painfully
The wheel creaks - shudders -
And begins to turn once again.
The wheel creaks - shudders -
And begins to turn once again.
