Mohan Chutani Poet Rhyme

Summer Solstice

the day of most light in a year
marks victory of light over dark 
for an enlightenment so dear
to a spiritual gateway we embark

spiritual celebrations of the sun
are remarkable common wisdom 
for all times and cultural evolutions 
reflecting life’s universal algorithm 

ancient tales of a savior, a divine son 
of a virgin mother and mystery father
tell us of betrayal before resurrection
and hinge on the solar celestial harbor

rituals venerate summer solstice since olden times
at the Great Pyramids in Egypt Sphinx is crowned
Druids mark union of earth and heaven in chimes
guarding sacred fire at Vestalia festival is renowned

Eric Cohen June 23, 2020 at 10:17 PM Nice! Glad I finally found this poem, Mohan. So, the Summer solstice has come and gone this year, and now the days are growing shorter as I write this. Only a few seconds shorter per day, but the rate of change is speeding up, even as the hottest days are yet to come. And so it goes ...
