First, it was the Summer Solstice, which means that it is officially time for some summer cocktails at this lady's house. To go along with all that sunny power, the Super Moon also occurred this weekend. To be honest, I enjoyed the Super Moon way more than the Solstice - I do not do well in the heat. Even today I had a horrid migraine from the hot, humid weather. Alas, there's nothing I can do to change it, so I can only do my best to embrace it.
Condolences were share today at the church I attend, as a baby boy aged 2 months entered into eternity. I wish I had better, sweeter, more comforting words to give.
I composed this Choka in Puerto Rico, where I experienced an absolute Summery moment. It was not written on the Solstice, but it refers to the entrance of Summer nicely. Super Moon poetry to come!
The
Setting Solstice
Seen through dark
glasses -
night time on the
Horizon.
Still hot
underfoot.
Cup raised to the
sky;
wine as pale as
the hot moon.
I’ll drink to her
smile.
Slice of lemon for
the cocktail of
the Ocean.
Salty sweet slumber.
