Oh, Holy Night

Dec 21

gazing out
from the nest
of darkness…

such a holy hum
on this night

when light and dark
become lovers…

I feel the kiss
before their mouths touch;

electric anticipation;

the magnitude
of their communion;

birthing a brand new world
with every turn of the wheel…

the rustling skirts of my gown
glowing with starlight,
the tender moon
tucked inside my pocket;

whirling across
the dance floor,

into the arms
of the
radiant
sun…

oh, how I love
to turn toward the light;
(and back to the dark again)

like a selkie
reclaiming her skin,
slipping into
moonlit waters…

drinking in this
liquid marriage
of heaven
and earth;

when everything
feels held
so close,

on this
blessed
solstice
night
