Solstice eve

A poem by Carolina Medina-Dupaix



Standing naked in the threshold of my mind’s garden I walk forth

Hesitantly stepping upon the stones of those that came before

My path has wandered through pages of written and unwritten history

The scope of the journey is known only to me



Stepping with the thunder I hear the lighten clap

A testament to the power and reverence that is awoken even in the smallest and simplest of animals

How could we have strayed so far?



As if to lift my spirit, the sun beams into face from an eastern window

I lift my face to the sky above

Breathe

and exhale
