River Solstice

 
 

On the first day

The first day of longer days

Time stands still and islands are attainable

We traverse up and down

Wind swept and glaring time

Stomping hard and testing its firmness

And can examine at will

Refracted in the deep clear crystal

Where our paths once crossed

And fractured

And where they may meet again

Yes on this day

We can peer deep into the past

and far into the future too

Filled with the blessing of you

Tomorrow’s suns will set

finally the strange sounds of breakup come

but this day we choose to cast

forever in our dreams
