verdant reflections

 



                    


                    Solstice High

 


Campfire flames warming my face--
 flickering beyond closed lids. 
      Perfect first eve of summer breeze off Sagatagan
            cooling gently from behind.
Angelic voice from a welcome stranger
                out for a stroll. 
Rich baritone of Br. John
              as always... soothes and lifts.
 Smooth draws of bow across the bass strings
              resonates deep in the soul.
 Prayers offered in song. 

Intermitent lighting of the sky
                 followed by
deep rumbles from the storm
         on a journey east... 
Family. Loved ones. Strangers. 
Community and hospitality.

 Welcome summer...
