Solstice Sun.
Under a clear blue bowl of a sky
warm sea slumbers, as still
scraps of cloud like spun gauze float by
to let sun set at will.
Lazy and lapping, like coloured flint
around flattened path, more
carbuncle-red light now glints
itself onto gold sh0re.
Round life-symbol wedded to fire,
evening sun hangs her cloak
on midsummer day high,
but now silver shield broke
And I breathless stood, wholly
absorbed,warmth kissing my skin
As vivid crimson gauged holes
to let solstice sun in.

Spellbinding, mystical and beautiful. The sheer magic of the Soltice Sun captured with aplomb. :)

How gorgeous. I love the sun and summer of all seasons and you have captured some of the mystery and magic of the solstice in these lovely verses. Thanks Fay.

Fay this is simply stunning poetry and the picture is unbeliably beautiful. As I looked at it I gasped and your words just synchronised with it totally. My favorite because of the alliteration 'lazy and lapping, like coloured flint around flatened path' and 'carbuncle-red is so original. You have soaked me with the Solstice Sun as I sit here listening to the rain.

Fay - what a delightful write on the sun....the ending is both brilliant & beautiful "And I breathless stood, wholly absorbed,warmth kissing my skin As vivid crimson gauged holes to let solstice sun in."
