An Ode to Summer Solstice

I eagerly anticipate the arrival of the summer solstice

The longest day of the year, filled with the promise

Of glorious sunshine, of days that stretch forever

Of endless hours to bring to fruition every endeavor..

*

The summer solstice boosts my industriousness

I complete projects in various stages of progress

Assisted by the long hours of daylight

That keeps my creative spark burning bright

*

I do make hay while the sun shines

My spirits with the hours of daylight align

While in winter I fight the urge to hibernate

Summer is the time when I rejuvenate
