Summer Solstice : Summer Dream 2015

doors open
my heart pounds the earth
like an ancient drum
fast and free
I am awake, I am alive
I may be on fire
even as I become like water
even as I weep in lonlieness
even as my life becomes short
even as I fall into a dream
I have followed my hopes
I have followed even my fear
I have spoken with the silence
I have forgotten
my shadows
even as I pass through
the open sky
singing
and breathing
even as I pass from there to here
a song in an open sky

(solstice of summer twenty fifteen)
