Solstice 2018 June

I hear the sounds of children crying
I feel the exploding volcano
Children stolen from anguished parents
Magma blood of the planet hemorrhaging
Buries the land

Somewhere there are those sleeping next to the ground
Smell of the earth near their lips
They sigh their untethered wonders
Rivers of water of fish of moss of rocks worn smooth
Play night music

Let us go to the sea
Find the green jeweled sand
Wear it upon our speckled skin
Ocean the blue of sapphire of dreams of seaglass
Waking wishes of summer

We cannot forget that we are the ones
We the authors of our lives
There is no choosing the outcomes for another
For me it will be a matter of carrying children’s tears
In the vial of my heart

Let us do this together, A communion of souls
Let us taste the summer earth
Remember the wildness we are born to
Honor freedom so free it flies on every breath
Unleashed solstice
