Solstice Ritual

written by L. Stevens

Stain your wish in crimson ink

Light a candle bathed in red

Watch it burn, don’t blink

When the sun fades and stars wink

The moon shines overhead

Stain your wish in crimson ink

The night is long and shadows slink

Let the flame banish doubt and dread

Watch it burn, don’t blink

Pour yourself a fiery drink

Pen the desire in your head

Stain your wish in crimson ink

Light your paper and watch it shrink

Declare what you have left unsaid

Watch it burn, don’t blink

Wait for dawn to turn the sky pink

The sun emerging from a cloudy bed

Stain your wish in crimson ink

Watch it burn, don’t blink
