Winter Solstice
The rebirth of the sun
A time for reflection
Where the red water runs
At the foot of the Tor
A holy place
Sacred and serene
Away from the rat race
If they beckon
You must answer the call
To the well
A source of life force
Replenish your energy
Cleanse and purify
Banish your demons
Held by the light
God is love
And love resides there
Drink from the chalice
And your soul repair
Whatever trials or troubles you
Know that it’s a test
Find forgiveness there
Find redemption and rest
Fortify yourself
And receive His benevolent grace
Traverse the healing waters
Barefoot, humble, embraced
Emerge from your chrysalis
In preparation for the next cycle
Redeemed and purified
Protected by St Michael
The dawn of a new decade
Is only days away
The anniversary of the birth
Of Christ we shall celebrate
A time to clean the slate
Begin a brand new chapter
Intention setting to manifest
A future filled with rapture
Know thyself
And cut thy losses
Severe ties
Yet cultivate riches
Nurture positive influences
Follow your inner bliss
Give thanks for all that radiates
Beauty and happiness
Know that you are blessed
Deserving and worthy
Recognise your divinity
Even though you’re presently earthly
Follow Bethlehem’s star
To illuminate your path
When weakened pray for Him
To support you with His staff
And then rise again
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Of the purging furnace
That illusion shatters and smashes.
