Solstice soon (Hexagram 24, RETURN)

Light is deft, knowing all
our routes
of escape
into darkness
deeper than death. Winter
recalls our turn within;
Spring remains
as dawn

reminding us
that Light
insists on
life

being born
anew

from
sleep
and scattered
stars.


Light reveals
a day anew
somewhere
on the globe

every moment,
every day, and we
are roused
in turn,

to turn
and face
a dawn.

To let the Light
come in.
