Solstice Lion

You dug your claws in -

toppled me until I understood

that I needed to ask for help

with a lion's voice -

and it would be given.

Solar king, you are training

this queen to become lionhearted -

to align with an ancient star message

hidden with time but now revealed

for our salvation.

May the Thousand Years of Peace

begin with my awakening -

and yours, too -

as the Sun rises to power again

this Solstice night.
