Summer Solstics Poetry

Dear friends,

This is the poem I read at the solstice gathering last night and

the warrior returns was read by Sinde-donated by Darlene.

Thanx top Sinde for mentioning that kindness is a great intention

and it serves one well to be mindful of that trait.

This quarter mark, summer solstice, bores its hole in the year
When the golden, scorching rays of the sun overtake the darkness
And burn their light longer than on any other day.
Maybe it’s a cleansing…fire burn away our darkest shadows of doubt and   fear.
Maybe it’s enlightenment…light the way that we may see what has always   been there.
Maybe it’s a test of patience…will this blistering, hot day ever end?
Maybe it’s a call from the universe…inspire us to hear our inner yearning to   be safely at home.
Maybe it’s a holiday from the direction of the south…urging us to be as  passionate about something as the sun is hot.
Maybe it’s a lesson …learning the wisdom to know we will endure.
Maybe it’s a sign of strength… not surrendering to the hellish, earthly day.
Maybe it’s love…infusing us with warmth for ourselves and others.
Maybe it’s a ray of truth…awakening our third eyes.
Or maybe it’s just another hot, June day in the Sonoran desert,
And we are all gathered to celebrate its warmth and light.

It was summer and the desert sun burned the earth into submission.
A healthy thing submission was…
So much heat that your insides turned from lead to gold..
And your thoughts left your body,
Because you were baking in the belly of God’s love…
A love that brought you to your knees,
Like the gratitude of someone dying…
