Summer Solstice

The druids, its believed, held hands in prayer, facing the East beat drums, blew horns to welcome the Summer Solstice daylong feast Their sonorous chants, the horns and drums grew louder as sun appeared at the horizon and steadily climbed higher. The witches and warlocks, it’s said, danced around fire to keep light alive even after the glorious sun retired. Ensnared by the longest day,devotional songs all would sing even the Satan and ghoulish devils needed the solstice's blessing The women and men wore garlands of herb and flower to ward off any evil spirits that came alive to wander. I would like to silence all digital noise and chatter sever all connections with email, Facebook and twitter Watch reverently as the sun rises to its majestic golden best and soak each cell till our star drowns in the deep dark West. Thank Almighty for the pervasive luminescence and energy the sidestepping of dusk to reveal dawn in perfect synergy. Written on 05/27/2016
