Summer Solstice

Today’s the longest of the year.

The days grow shorter starting here.

The inter-planetary path

brings shorter days as aftermath.

I wish the bright days could be stronger.

Wish the sun could linger longer.

Wish the skies could shine and brighten.

Wish our hearts could lift and lighten.

All things have a time and season.

Guess the solstice has its reason.

Days do what they’re meant to do.

Their length’s not up to me or you.
