On This Longest Day

on this longest day

I pause

to honor

the sun

I feel its warmth

on my skin

and a doubtless joy

rises

oh, radiant heart of the world

beat in time

with mine

brilliant sun

ignite the spark of joy

to chase away the shadows

of doubt and fear

leave only rays

of possibility

I see the vibrant greens

the ripening fruits

I hear the hum of the dragonfly

I feel the prayer

of infinity wings

as the hummingbird flies

all a testament

to the earth's

generosity

may this abundance

remind me

of the inherent wealth

within my life

like a flower

turning to the sun

I open to receive

this gift

I will savor

the sweetness of the season

the laughter of loved ones

the simple pleasures

that bring delight

In this moment

may my heart fill

with joy that overflows

into

the

world
