Summer Solstice (Standing Still with the All-Seeing Sun)

Only the lucky old sun knows what happened and how it will all end.  The sun is our nurturer and for all intensive purposes IS God.  The Summer Solstice is the longest day of summer and brought about a new illustration dedicated to this wonderment- this giver of life.  It also brings sweeping nostalgia and a poem from my younger self's second collection of poetry,

the longest days of summer

we are all artists

          merging cloud and soil

elliptical commentary

          tangible obscurity befogs static

we are all tuned

          to a certain pitch of singing

a serenade of conviction

all moved by simple energy

we sit and drink and speak of things

          as grand as god

          on the longest days of summer

history is recorded

          bouncing from the vibration

          from small pressures on guitar strings

a fire burns miles high

          haunting lake shores

all children dance

          in the strobelight cloud effect

of the flickering sun

water and smoke alike rise
