SOLSTICE

Today

We bless all
Things all darkness
All light

The days
Have grown shorter
And the night
Stays to remind
Us to rest & to
Change our
Ways for the
Better

For the future
For humanity
Animals children
Our world

Today
We rid ourselves
Of all negativity
All sources of
Hate

So let us
Do just that
And bury them
All beneath
The frozen earth
As we pray
For better days

And as our fires
Grow in solace
Theirs shall
Disappear

Back into
The shadows
To remain

~ R.M. Engelhardt
