Solstice Love

SOLSTICE LOVE Along the summer stream at solstice noon Calm flow shapes reeds in waves viridian Thus born, Ophelia sang her final tune Until enclosed in cool oblivion Above the brook blue Damsels flit in dance And bring to mind my love, that girl who’d pass Long solitary hours with spellbound glance Such simple joys gave solace, filled her glass Could you and I regain that fresh clean sight And find contented bliss within the space Would we thereby accept without respite A life, advanced with no need to retrace Perhaps one of life’s secrets in this rhyme Is: love, and live always in present time 10 May2018

So very true, my philosphy exactly. As i like to quote....Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, today is the Present, treat it as such...A Gift. This wonderful Sonnet is a Fave for me.....Maria
