Behold the glorious summer solstice
balmy days all our tomorrows
earth’s aura meets the sunbeams kiss
..
far behind the starlight trellis
hushed dawns ascending sunlight shows
behold the glorious summer solstice
..
through half closed eyes in dreaming bliss
blowing bubbles full of rainbows
earth’s aura meets the sunbeams kiss
..
standing stones the circles chalice
welcome back sweet singing swallows
behold the glorious summer solstice
..
hawthorn, ash and oak, the coppice
ceilidh dancers stripping willows
earth’s aura meets the sunbeams kiss
..
buttercup summers such as this
swaying corn in sunshine mellows
behold the glorious summer solstice
earth’s aura meet the sunbeams kiss.

Wonderful.
We had quite a bit of rain to start our summer.
Now it is just hot and muggy…
well except for the three storms we had today!
