Summer Solstice by Tom Hirons, “In a graveyard in June,The sun arcs high overAll the withered trees.Light pours onto the tombstones.Despite the terrible news,The skylarks and the blackbirds sing,Relentless as the turn of time.I lift my face to the bright horizon.I have heard the death-groans ofA thousand of my dreams,But the life-song of the unknownStillContinue reading “Thought for the day, Wednesday 22nd June”

From Celtic Devotional by Caitlin Matthews, “Glory to the Day-Star, hail!Lifter of the Light, Burnisher of the Sky.Gifts of love to earth are bringing,Summer’s shimmer, dew’s delight.Dancing be the heart within us,Open be our souls to bliss,Courage vanquish every shadow,Greet midsummer with a kiss.”
