Litha: Summer Solstice

Litha

This solstice of
summer time,
here.

May 
the light
shine much longer 

and in it’s
glare, be
seen.

Shine
from the 
inside with warmth.

For we are 
reminded of 
time

passing
and shifting
and ever expanding.

We are the 
water and 
dirt,

apprentices
of the
unspoken great mystery.

May we dance
on the 
cliffs

of
what we 
imagine to be

our greatest discovery
cradled in
light. 

As
the child
laughs at the sun

may we be 
still enough
now

to
witness the 
magic of love. 

It’s unbounded wisdom
wraps us
round-

Plentiful, 
forgiving, sultry,
hot to touch.

May we dance
round the 
fire

and 
whisper our
prayers to flames.

All summer in
a day,
Litha. 

Celebrate the Light!
Love, 
Maura
