Summer Solstice 2008

Savoring Summer Solstice

by Stephanie Rose Bird

  

Pray 

    in red 

Pray

     in yellow 

Pray 

    to the golden light of dawn  

Wander 

    back 

        further still 

                      fingers pressed in Namaste 

Eyes nearly closed 

    soft; unfocused 

Turned in 

    toward third eye 

                    Pulsating throat 

Tongue released from roof of the mouth 

Breathing in ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 

Out ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 

Again and again 

Visualizing Heliopolis 

Its light flooding mind’s eye 

Cleansing 

Shimmering Sun god--Ra 

Hurrah! 

 

Heavens of backlit gods and goddesses 

Looming or 

Dancing in the sky of ever-shining sun 

 

See Egypt 

Sea of Isisssssss 

Gold 

N

Winged 

 

Golden rays splattering light 

tickling the senses 

browning your nose 

 

Drenching your mind, soul and skin

in memory of those whose soul’s purpose was only 

Worship of the sun 

 

Under the light of summer solstice 

LITH’-ah 

We are golden, gleaming, glistening 

remembering eons of summer solstices 

as one
