SolsticeWhen your eyes pause on the ballThat hangs on the third branch from the star, You remember why it is dark And why it gets light again. The Earth, like the heart, slopes in it's seat And, like that, it travels along an elliptical path Drawn into the darkness. An unpolished pearl In sky-black Palm of hand Flickering sun-flame. And then you remember That you, yourself, you are a light-bearer, a light-bearer Receiving radiance from others Flickering sun-flame. Unpolished Earth in palm of hand. |
