In the lee of Summer Solstice Tell oneself to breathe In and out repeatedly No more holding on To each one The days are ticking down again Walk abreast the self-assured waves Kissing sun on white speckled canvas Laid bare for once Turn around People multiply in the wake Rubbery tops of jelly fish Bounce off finger tips Salty drink for skin Slips soft around Tender clefts of limbs Hopefully loved Sun kiss, towel hug Me and my own company Thinking upon Just once The one presiding over The bay upon balcony Head dipped in serenity Some adventure in there Waiting to come out
Burned through At least a dozen On pure desire Till none to light another Not even at midnight On Summer Solstice Of all the gifts I poured out My heart slipped into one Sleep, not skinny dipping I, my faithful lover
Do I dare dwell Night and day Sacrifice lesser thoughts For prized noble insights Into some or other Look, word, a smile Given to me by one adored Once upon a time...
I do dare Forgive me if words Do drag on But I am of the mind That love, a cure-all Conntagion runs through Generations
If these words and purest thoughts Never reach her ears For certain a chance to Float about for many Hundreds of years Is that not how I caught it first From a blue green eye Locked on mine - but once
Poured out like an offering Waterfall, infinity pool In the alpine summit Of glacial paced healing From losing all held dear That and more Saying goodbye took time Through thousands of moments Admired over and over Letting go means allowing Rapids take you forward Knowing you have the strength To stay afloat Survive another capsize Walk away into the wilderness Once more
Won't you? Life no longer Violet crumble In my hands If only Sweet honeycomb Chocolate mess Ask me over After work Take the ticket To the show Now state walls Not a giant mask Anymore Storm blows over World conjures another Ask me again For someone to hold
Count the stars of heaven
