Solstice Thoughts

On this day of unequal measures,
Dark overwhelming light,
I pause from celebration
For some solstice thoughts tonight.

Inside, a log is blazing,
And green vines signal life.
A bard sings a song of peace on earth,
An end to mankind's strife.

I think of all the changes
The last few years have brought:
A friendship long-enduring,
The inner battles fought.

My heart knows the winter season
Better than the spring,
But it's learning about the renewal
That a gentle soul can bring.

Now I'll return to the fireside,
Lift my cup to friendship and cheer,
And let me heart know gladness
On this darkest night of the year.
