Winter Solstice 1991*
Photo by Joan Dobbie 2007
Black & white wear
each other's clothes
& the darkest moment
is that moment
when the dark
lets go
The thing to do, I guess,
is love the darkness
Knowing darkness
also disappears
& trust the light
though it comes & goes
& makes
no promises

I like this Solstice poem Joan. All about light and dark. That is what the Solstice is after all, the darkness overtaking light, and then the light overtaking darkness. And oh yes, this is Chris's old laptop so google thinks I'm him. But that's OK. Happy Holidays dear! I'm assuming you will be careful and do everything to keep you and your family safe.
Bea, This was a year ago, but perfect timing for me to see it for the first time.
Have the most beautiful holidays, and so much love to you.
