Solstice

The responsibility of this day

Is ever greater with meaning for all

To be the longest giver of light, warmth,

And alas though for long it shall not stay

Far from the season of winter, which doth

Bring the longest night, frigid cold to all

•

This summer solstice that brings such life, joy

Is that which all may find happiness in

A warm wind that brings in the scents of June

May tow the dark clouds of a stormy ploy

Baskets of good food for all to eat soon

Pools and lakes for a splendid cooling swim

•

Laughter and bonding, that each hold onto

Memories; causing smiles long after

Families that cherish this time while near

Remember them when life leads death unto

That winter in which no warm thought may fear

For a new summer will come; new chapter

•

Each year it brings the longest day; cherish

For each year it brings too new memories

Sights of the birds, kites, and fluffy white clouds

The scent of a beach or river with fish

All manner of fun and joy is allowed

Summer solstice, peace which puts us at ease

•

Sounds of both children and adults alike

Give way to stillness of each summer night

The feel of a fire, heat licks your face

Summer is sacred in this peaceful place

None may disturb the joy made in Summers

This time is pure, enjoyed by the lovers
