Solstice with Fireflies



night at its ebb

but longer nights to come

day at its peak

but shorter days to come

all of life is cycles and balance

this i knew apart from myself

in the diffused light of the solstice

a silver day with sky on the ground

a calming quiet steadfast haze

pulsing now with a galaxy of fireflies

under the weaker stars

brave because i said i would be

on the cusp of a new phase
