The sun setting on the horizon line,
As damask streaks appear in the dusk sky.
White crested the waves fall softly in line
To the shore where the noisy seagulls fly.
Between the day’s end and the darkest night,
Where the Sun King kisses his lady Moon.
They dance to bring a summer’s warming light
Stirring the deep rhythm of nature’s tune.
Pagan dancers join with the Solstice beat,
The world’s music flows on the breeze yonder,
Reaching the native warrior’s bare feet
Leaving all with a mystical wonder.
Nature’s embrace is a gift of free love
Softly her kisses on the wind travel,
Turn the circle on from the skies above
To the pulsing of the Sun King’s gavel.

All too soon its Midsummer, seems such a short time since Yule. If Andy if is well enough I'm hoping to meet the dawn rise on Friday at Avebury ... we will see.
Litha blessings to you and yours my friend.

Oh Jems this is so butiful

Between the day’s end and the darkest night,
Where the Sun King kisses his lady Moon.
They dance to bring a summer’s warming light
Stirring the deep rhythm of nature’s tune.
that stanza is awsome

I'm lucky I live close to both Avebury Circle and Stonehenge, the Solstices are so magical.

Ah! to live in such a mystical place must bring all these wonderful verses to you. The first verse brings the scene to life..

It is a great honour to live here and for both my painting and my writing the stones of Avebury and Stonehenge are powerful sources of inspiration. Something drew me to Wiltshire and I think I am beginning to find just what that something was. Thank you for your comment.
