Midsummer

The year is crowned With a wreath of flowers Dreams stand in high bloom Dance around the fire in your soul Drunken with light Your heartbeat the sacred drum The golden petals of the flame Flickering skyward

Gorgeous imagery for summer, Agnes. This is another one of yours I bet would do well with Brian in one of his contests, but I can never be sure!!
