Summer Solstice

Marking a pivot point in mid year towards shorter days, we experience the longest light we will receive in this year’s cycle.

The light of the longest day 
has travelled such a long way

Past planets and black holes
to warm the earth beneath my feet

The stone circle built by ancestors
with heart open and eyes to see

The sacredness of the turning of days
the absorption of light into skin

Everything rises to greet the sun
birds sing to her, flowers reach for her

Hearts lift to receive
in this energy we become aglow

Seeing at last the abundance
of what is miraculously possible
