| Click for the moon. |
The power of solstice opened the sky
as if it were scripted. The moon was there,
Jupiter and Venus together were there,
and there was the rush of yesterday's rain
deep in the valley flooded with shades,
and there at my back was the wind like a surf
that poured through the oaks in a tide,
fireflies in waves rose and fell,
fireflies in swells on the sea of the field,
fireflies like sparks in the trees,
and there in the night were the people before me,
standing in awe of the world,
what i knew in my bones was the sum of their lives,
there in the power of solstice.
