20 June 2008

again the solstice

tonight we watch the rising summer stars
spring ends in glory and no flower fades
but there is silence where we want cascades

in the far distance we know there are wars
and the poor wounded must have their parades
tonight we watch the rising summer stars

the victors pass by happy in their cars
they will not listen to the speaking shades
a pleasing odour the long day pervades

tonight we watch the rising summer stars
