Summer Solstice; Prepare for it

Prepare for it

Not a day-long event

Time specific

Time sensitive

🌞 Summer Solstice

🌛 Prepare for it

*

Feel it in a shifting wind

Left to right

Zephyr turned tempest

Zion to a lion's roar

May peace always be yours

But don't forget your vocals

*

See it in bird flocks

A scattered WHOOSH

Changing direction- counterclockwise

Unwind, wind, rewind

Do remind yourself to be mindful

🌞 Summer Solstice

🌛 Prepare for it

*

Hear it in wind chimes

Bamboo, copper, glass, seashells

Varying measures playing in unison

A chorus orchestrated by angels

Tells you, in your life-

Always be instrumental

*

Smell it in seasonal sensations

A freshly mown lawn

Gardenia, Jasmine & Lillies

Earth, creamy, velvety & spicy

Inhale, exhale, rest

Repeat, repeat, repeat

Olfactory perception perfected

Heralds new fragrances

🌞 Summer Solstice

🌛Prepare for it

*

Taste it in nostalgia

Dreams of the night

Continued in daydreams

Sweetest recollections

Fondest memories

Good enough to eat

No need to count calories

Please, take another bite

*

Touch it, not with your hands

Touch it with your heart

Knowing the unknowing

Feeling the before

Before it comes

Trust tactual minus factual

This transcends intellectual

🌞 Summer Solstice

🌛 Prepare for it

*

10:42 PM- Northern Hemisphere

June 20, 2025

She arrives

Most tilted towards the sun

Global north, land hemisphere

Time specific

Time sensitive

Longest day, shortest night

Preceded by messages

Gifts on earthly plane

Spiritual upliftment

Opened eyes & ears

Opened hearts & minds

Sensing beyond

Prepared to meet Summer

Equals meeting new beginnings
