The longest day

The longest day
the Solstice here
June twentieth
at the mid year
The sunshine stays
as well it might
and with us til
it is twilight
So celebrate
the Solstice day
with dance and song
as well you may
Mid-summer daylight
Green Man shout
tells one and all
the sunshine’s out

Solstice

Today it is the shortest day
Midwinter, that’s a fact
Followed by the longest night
Solstice to be exact

Slip Slide Away

Yesterday saw the Solstice
and the summer’s longest day
Midyear passes once again
as time slip slides away

cry

was that a caterwaul

i heard this black solstice eve –

or a frightened child

Sunlight Solstice

The morning speaks to lovely energy.

Our day begins bright noting summertime.

Birds sing their often gorgeous melody.

We look hopeful for amber lights sublime.
