A Song for the Winter Solstice


A Song for the Winter Solstice

You are the wild horse
I ride carefree on Sundays

You are a canvas for the words
I decorate with green moss
and blue savage moons

You are my secret sun
hiding behind
the shortest days
and longest nights

You are not afraid
to scatter your seeds
on the breast of a robin
to make memories

You are my sanctuary
of hungry wheat and
longing warm
underbellies of home
