 The Solstice Song By: Noah Eaton 6/21/03 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 |

Hey Noah dear friend, how have you been? Your writing is as incredible as ever, wonderfully unique, brilliance strewn throughout. What a cool picture dude! Looks like all you need is a few waves and you'll be walking on water. So nice to read you again. Richard  |

Your work gets better and better with each season's change. A poet must leave traces of his passing not proof. |
