life-giving fire
pour sundrops like rain.
let us reflect your glow.
enlighten our path
as we flourish and grow.

as we sway in the breeze
as you kiss our skin…
wrap us up
in light and insight
as we spin ‘round again
toward dark.

Thank you for such a beautiful poem 🙂 I really hope you don’t mind but I’ve posted it (with credit and a link to this site of course) on my website. I run an internet radio show that airs every new moon in honour of a new lunar cycle and was looking for something to honour the solstice in time for tonight’s show when I came across this beautiful piece of writing! (If you’d rather I didn’t post it I’ll obviously take it down immediately). Solstice blessings!
