Beneath the Solstice Sky
I've been wanting to write a song about the Solstice for years. This year I managed it! Happy Winter Solstice! Recorded by me, mixed and mastered by my friend Justin Williams. Available on all streaming platforms.
The solstice speaks in whispers deep
In ancient tongues of old
The voice of darkness and of dreams
The tale a thousand suns have told
The longest night shows us the spark,
A fragile flame in the endless dark.
The day when night and soul are bound
The darkest hour is sacred ground.
Rain falls soft on window panes,
As the long night descends,
This dark, this peace, this velvet shroud
A healing veil where dreams are found.
The stars burn bright in the endless black
A mirror to the shadows staring back
We guard our secrets beneath our skin
But the winter forces us to look within
Beneath the frost, a quiet pulse
The earth is dreaming softly
The wheel it turns, the years drift by,
A time to rest beneath the solstice sky.
