Winter Solstice 2020

drops of nectar, morning dew
sunlit prisms now in view
snow topped mountains all around
rhythmic lapping ocean sound
 
hummingbirds and eagles too
flyng in a sky so blue
the ocean sparkles, catching light
reflecting photons caught in flight
 
senses tingling, mind aroused
evaporating thinking's cloud
contemplation's flowing stream
disappearing in a beam
 
of swirling, twirling liquid light
penetrating endless night
where we wobble with the Earth...
winter solstice is rebirth
 
as days grow longer, night retreats
cosmic forces' drumlike beats
are the soundtrack to our lives
the only rhythm that survives
 
the morning Sun, the Moon at night
friends and lovers so we might
see sunlit prisms when in view
in drops of nectar, morning dew
