Sol Sistere by Linda L. Dowd
   Sol sistere ~ the sun stands still, Drink the ale, eat your fill. The solstice is midsummer's day, When crops are high and children play. Colours sacred, colours true ~ Golden yellow, green and blue. First day of summer, Lilith be, Leap the bonfires fancy-free. Ecstatic dancing to beat of drums, Chants and stories, songs and strums. The Sun King claims sweet Mother Earth, All gather 'round for feast and mirth. They celebrate the whole night long, Then welcome in the sun at dawn. Frolicking Celts in Light of Shore, Sharing magic in days of yore.
“We are borne of star dust, and to the stars we shall one day return.” ~ Linda L. Dowd[This message has been edited by Earth Angel (06-22-2009 04:31 PM).]

Bruce, I knew that if you happened upon this poem, that it might appeal to you because of the Celtic and seasonal aspects of it! 
Thank you!
May your summer be a cause for celebration!

Dear Linda, it is as if long lost memories re-surface while reading and feeling your passionate tribute to Summer Solstice.
Extremely captivating, to the point of wanting to dance around a bonfire now ...
Wonderful!
Happy Summer nights and days, dear Angelo Terrestre!
Love, Margherita

Dear Linda, how could one feel down when you read those magical words. The whole
poem was a pleasure to read but that verse really gave me a lift. Love you dear friend.

Maga Margherita ~
Perhaps you and I have danced around a soltice bonfire in our frolicking Celtic past! 
May your summer be as radiant as you yourself are, my dear Dolphina!
