Re(En)Vision Day 15: Joan Dobbie

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
