Solstice on the Cusp The moon shines, hanging half full like a Christmas stocking in wait, with only nuts encased, anticipating winter. Tomorrow…she, the chilled maiden, becomes. Solstice teased all climes, then starry skied above me having sent a last late summer day to Kansas just this yestermorn, ‘twas not a dog day, or a fall day, but a later kiss of summer’s sun so south….it harbored light… warming other continents. Later means just that, in the southern climes; for they do not say goodbye adios or any other term that portends final No…just…the influence of later…a promise to return, come back, visit again, be welcome once more… Later… winter only lasts one long icy breath…and then melts when you return. Sighs are an icy comfort… For when you come again? Know, I have been here, waiting, for more. As life is young, so does age realize that more is a behest, and better becomes you. Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

Later means just that, in the southern climes; for they do not say goodbye adios or any other term that portends final No…just…the influence of later…a promise to return, come back, visit again, be welcome once more… I really like this...yes it's difficult to say goodbye--later is better, and the seasons take us through a facsimile of life as well, living and dying----a continuem of the circle! |

"No…just…the influence of later…a promise to return, come back, visit again, be welcome once more…" I have always enjoyed circle games, the earth turns in that kind of circle, holding hands with the sun.. You said that here, don't ya know.... enjoyed __________ice/ford ><> |

Later Sunshine. (Wink!) I love that. I skipped reading this piece earlier because I was headed to supper. Glad I came back to read it though...because I would have missed something special had I not. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |
