Summer of Verses – Poem 6 – It is a long…long…long day…

By John on June 21st, 2008

Today…today, I say
Was, in fact, a long, long, long day…
The fact is there
And, everywhere…
As it the solstice is here.
When did this sneak up on us?
When did we get into this rush?
Enjoy the light…
Refuse the night…
Reach for the stars
If you can stay awake…
Leave the bugs in the jars
From yesterday
For they will be out too late.
Enjoy, rejoice, and celebrate
This summer solstice date.
