Solstice

A Poem by Tam Warink

A few lines about this ancient observation.

Solstice


Cupped hands facing toward the heavens
Embrace, recognize and give thanks
The orb of life for countless generations
A journey of lifetimes untold and unsung

Multitudes gather to revel, to renew
Seeking companionship and communion
Their light-giving celebration bids adieu
Each circled-fire a kindled remembrance

this is beautiful...and that ancient observation is a reminder that we do much less observing today...and we are much less grateful for what we have around us...we are just always looking for more...
never satisfied...but companionship and communion are so important, lest we forget that.

Captivating for me, this read is.
I 'm trying so hard to grasps it's meaning, Yet there's a thought slapping my face that the jest is all the hoop de la and celebrations of their group therapy and enlightenment doesn't mean a thing cause they all wind up in the darkness anyway. And all end up needing to light a fire to see.

Whether you meant that or not that's what I hear and like it :-)
impressive writing.

Thanks, Nick.
This reads almost like an incantation one might find carved into the stones of an ancient monument.

You're welcome.
I have always enjoyed the solstices, their mythology and their power in revealing the earths revolutions... and in the relationships to the sun and stars. You capture this feeling in your poem Tam.

Loved this piece of spirit and celebration. We would do well to remember … friend or foe … we are all in the same blue boat. You, of course, I count a friend.

Yes, that's true... the same boat; unless the boat is star-worthy. On that boat of a million years .. read more

That boat IS star-worthy and voyage of a million years is already underway. Just saying:)
