Winter Solstice
By Thea Summer Deer ©2012
I love these winter skies,
and the ice that hangs from eves,
the view through barren trees
reveals what could not before be seen.
In winter Cardinals dressed in red,
dance upon a stage of white,
and a brilliant star of dazzling light
guides me west, and home at night.
I love these mountain woods,
where the bobcat watches as I stand
before the fire to warm my hands,
We welcome winter solstice with its breath of cold demand.
In winter the black bear sleeps,
where I may join her in my dreams.
She takes me down by inner streams,
and reveals what could not before be seen.
