Solstice

Solstice

Christena Southwick

Family dancing
changes making
Slowly moving
through time

Arm-in-arm feudal dancing
Heavy robes of yesteryear
Our traditions
And our songs

Moving together--
moving apart
Hands joined upward-- then side by side
Gliding forward
Sliding backward
In rhythm In step
In grace
Weaving and connecting
Our commitment and our lives

Changes dancing history making
Each writing our own song
Eyes searching arms stretching hearts reaching fingers clasping
Traditions melting
Forever dancing, turning, testing
Love
Bringing our hearts back in line.
