the day after summer solstice

today the sun begins
it's slow descent southward
bidding farewell
to northern skies
the morning tide
paid homage
a long draw back
lower than ever before
in spite of warm rays
a cool breeze chills
foretelling the journey's end
in winter's cold embrace

then come, winter
follow summer, fall
each season the sun brings
unique in wondrous beauty
speak change within and out
as time marches on

  1. Beautiful! I love any poem that deals with the universe, the sun and all the wonder of how our world works:)
