For the longest day
I woke with the sunrise
Listening to the morning chorus
Warm their voices
The heat has already begun
Yet I stretch my arms
As though an eagle in flight
Absorbing the rays of the
Steamy morning sun
This day feels perfect
Even before it begins
A perfect solstice morning
To remind me of the summer fires
And how much
I want to live.

To remind me of the summer fires
And how much

May your longest day for this solar return be blessed with all the things which make you feel most alive.
