WINTER SOLSTICE SUN TEA 2023

 

Stuffing my mason jar

With Holy (Tulsi) Basil

And naturally sweet Stevia

Herbs grown lovingly

Mixed with natural well-water

Sun tea to celebrate

Another Winter Solstice

But Tarot’s #14 Temperance

Suggests balance

So the drink is pure

But the peppermint bark candy bar

Hidden in my hoodie pocket

Adds just the right touch

To ultra-sweet-tooth cravings

But oh, those calories

But, butt,  I’ll dance them off

In tonight’s waxing moonlight

Singing The Beatles’

Here Comes the Sun

Simultaneously welcoming

The shortest night

Of the solar year

Presenting an all-star sky

Crystal clear…
