A Solstice Song - Also an invitation to gather close 'round each other for renewal...no matter when that longest night may occur

lyrics

May we stand at the doorway of this longest night
And remember that dawn will bring back the light
May we rest like a seed, deep in the ground
And remember the wheel turns around
And remember the wheel turns around

And what we call Sacred is a wisdom so old
Saved from a fire that has long grown cold
But the Keepers of Light have kept a small spark
So that we'll find our way in the dark
So that we'll find our way in the dark

So call to the Old Ones
Call to the wind
Call to the shadows without and within
Call to the Spirits when you feel most alone
And ask them to guide your way home

When the world is slumber
And we've gathered the bones
Close 'round the fires of hearth and of home
Shake now the rattle, beat now the drum
And remember the all and the one
And remember the all and the one

So call to the Old Ones
Call to the wind
Call to the shadows without and within
Call to the Spirits when you feel most alone
And ask them to guide your way home

May we stand at the doorway of this longest night
And remember that dawn will bring back the light
May we rest like a seed, deep in the ground
And remember the wheel turns around
And remember the wheel turns around
