A Summer Solstice for Everyone?
What good is it to celebrate
the Sun without the warmth
of its rays
to want to re-connect with nature
without the color
green
to imagine a soul journey
without forgiveness from
the past
to chart a new beginning
without the sound of
anyone you love
what good are longer days
if spent shackled inside
the mind
what good are shorter nights
when all you have is
time?

Wow, those questions at the end get to the point and leave the reader thinking
I had not pondered such questions, myself, until leaving jail visits yesterday. The jail confines its inmates underground. When I re-emerged, I was surprised to see a heavy downpour of rain. I had no idea the sky had even darkened. Thank you for reading this one.
I love the idea of this poem and its question for all of us. Thanks!
thank you!
Yikes! This hits the heart, the mind, and the soul! Lovely and thoughtful.
thank you, Slyvia!
