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!!
