Midsummer Prayers

Midsummer elderflower heady


In bloom, in honeyed mead


Wood silk goblet passed


Friendship hand to hand


Fingers brushing affirmations


Red sky in the river


Moon vast in the trees,


Thyme on the barrow.


Time.


 


Falling in love all over again


With the bee orchids,


Sky lark songs,


Poetry to the heavens,


Shimmering river magic.


All is enchantment here,


Aching, tender and wild.


Prayers for wisdom


Answered in twilight


By the effusive glow


Of a cheerful insect


Irrepressible life.


 


A gleaming bottom beacon


Hope in unlikely places.


Lights to follow,


Faerie-like and unruly


Through the long grass.


Going to Elfland,


Or going home,


Or both.
