Summer Solstice - Welcoming Light

 The summer solstice ushers in light.  In the warmth of a hot June evening. My drum in hand, I stand facing the sun rejoicing in the light.  A pool of water shimmers as the sun dips beyond the horizon. The moon shines on my back, a reminder that light is still needed in times of darkness.

 The evening air is thick with the smell of jasmines and freshly cut grass.  Hungry sparrows chirp in unison for food, adding their own notes to the magic of twilight.  A chorus of tree frogs let out a melodious trill with each beat of the hoop drum.  Waving good-bye to the last piece of the spring sun.  

Summer's rhapsody
blooming with radiant light
music to my ears

Welcoming Summer Light


Sunset













Welcoming Summer

One drum, one beat, one heart

Thump

become light
 embrace light
   love light
    see light
      feel light

Listen to the drums, we are united as one
set forth your truest intention for a world
of peace

Thump
   Thump
     THUMP

Awaken, oh sleeping spirit to the light of  a

new day

I am of the sky
 I will teach you to fly

I am of the earth
 to dreams, I give birth

I am of the wind
 on branches thick and thinned

I am of the fire
 breathing with desire

I am of the water
 bonding, creating mortar

I am of the spirit,
 mind and body

One drum, one beat, one heart
radiating into the universal
drum circle of life....

THUMP
   THump
     thump

Awaken, oh sleeping spirit to the light of  a

new day

author's note:  I drummed at Sunset to
celebrate the summer solstice. This poem
was born from light.

Peace, light and love always....

Tilting Towards the Sun



summer solstice
day of  abundant light
tilting my head  towards the sun
fires of passion  burn in my soul
warming my heart new awareness
my roots grow deep, reaching for you
dreams grow in a field of yellow gold
darkness fades, opening blue skies
swaying in a breeze I think of you 
smiling brightly...
