~*~

With free abandon
They dance each June
Whirling, twirling
By light of moon
To usher in
The sweet refrain
Of days of sun
And summer rain

Lord and Lady
In passions seek
Their fertile love
Now at its peak
Verdant fields are
Green and growing
Sprung from seeds from
Springtime sowing

Summer solstice
Midsummer's dream
The king doth claim
His comely queen
Jump the bonfires
And smudge sweet grass
Now join once more
Ye lad and lass

Fairies flitting
In mid of nite
Weaving magic
With forest sprite
God and Goddess
At highest power
First summer's day
At midnite hour

With free abandon
They dance each June
Whirling, twirling
By light of moon
To usher in
The sweet refrain
Of days of sun
And summer rain.

Hooray for you ... I love this. There is always something very special and magical in your writing.

With free abandon
They dance each June
Whirling, twirling
By light of moon
To usher in
The sweet refrain
Of days of sun
And summer rain.


I can do without the rain thank you very much, but bring on the days of sun.

Hugs for Peace.  Marti

I actually really do enjoy a summer rain--almost as much as I do the

I LOVE water in all its forms, from dew to ice!--and everything in between! I even carry a water bottle with me everywhere! I think I must have been a dolphin in a past life!  tehe  Hey, that may be the reason I selected the dolphin icon!  

Remember, rain helps your garden grow!   

Huggums, girlfriend!
