the sun passed through the sky
low
to the mountains
tis the shortest day of the year
being filled with more night than day light
she
sat
with stars in her heart
at peace with the passing of the sun
~
I think this photo shows the gold leaf better:
last night's crescent moon was incredibly beautiful
I saw the sun's light on it more than looking at it as a
sliver of moon
somehow
noticing it that way felt like a solstice gift
sunlight at night
~
Lovely Solstice to you
