STILL SINGING THIS SOLSTICE SONG





Sweet sage & cedar, wishes and dreams
 weaving the elements, sealing the seams
 sealing our seams with wishes & dreams


All night watching our moon slowly, slowly lose its shine,
earths umber shadow passing till
sleep overtakes flesh.


Sweet sage & cedar, wishes and dreams
 weaving the elements, sealing the seams
 sealing our seams with wishes & dreams


All day tasks take our bodies through their passing time
from a blue tinted morning,  uphill
to moon rising, fresh.


Sweet sage & cedar, wishes and dreams
 weaving the elements, sealing the seams
 sealing our seams with wishes & dreams


Awake to a circle of women carrying reason and rhyme
in song, our deepest stories spill 
on each white dress.


Sweet sage & cedar, wishes and dreams
 weaving the elements, sealing the seams
 sealing our seams with wishes & dreams
