The Solstice Song By: Noah Eaton 3/21/03 Fires of the heavens Blend in the wings of a yellow-throated sparrow Backstroking in reverse through a misty morning rain Where the meadowlark waddles in the fountains Bubble bathing in epiphanies, promises, blessings, and estuaries Marauding the dusk for pearls for young souls. Summon the kaleidoscope waiter, spring is the ritual, that summons summer's dance, Letitia Ladybug kissed your cheek, cicadas worship the green apples blushing... Shine in the solstice Shine in the solstice  Caught free will Through a daffodil As she sung in her flowerbed An epic quodlibet Washed over by a vinaigrette of cotton rain So I offer my salaam And filled my pockets with saffron To nurture the empire in my garden Paying my tributary Testing my trial balloon to this illustrious day Summon the kaleidoscope waiter, spring is the ritual, that summons summer's dance, Breena Butterfly's leaped out her cocoon, firefly laser show before a hydrangea moon... Shine in the solstice Shine in the solstice  Fires of the heavens, blend in the wings of a yellow-throated sparrow, soaring against a Hinayanistic june rainbow, where a lumberjack is caught in a Dolly Varden, Blue-Eyed Mary's wear dolman sleeves, and the pimpernel wears high heels and emerald scarves  So blow a kiss to her majesty And wear her lilacs for her inaugural tea party. Summon the kaleidoscope waiter, spring is the ritual, that summons summer's dance, Letitia Ladybug kissed your cheek, cicadas worship the green apples blushing... Shine in the solstice Shine in the solstice Come, my child… I’ll show you colors you’ve never wondered, I’ll show you a revirginated sun, the skipped heartbeat of summer...  "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
