Stillness
on the Winter Solstice
Be still now
with the Earth.
Still
with the Sun,
the Land, Sea
and Sky
suspended
in timeless
stillness.
On this
Winter
Solstice.
In this place
where
you can pause,
and breathe
in the calmness,
breathe out
your quietness.
Even out
for awhile
life and
the world’s
imbalances,
darknesses.
Find
in the deeper
stillness
around and
reachable here
inside you,
your way
to all that is
filled with light;
to all that can be
filled with light.
