Solstice Poem
(Original Version)
Black and White wear each others clothes
And the darkest moment is that moment
when the dark lets go
The thing to do, I guess
Is love the darkness, knowing darkness
Also disappears
And trust the light, though it comes and goes
And makes no promises
© Joan Dobbie 1991
Solstice Poem Re(En)Visioned):
The darkest moment
is that moment
When the
dark lets go
The thing to do, I guess
Is love
and trust the light,
though it
makes no promises
