SOLSTICE PSALM
The days are getting longer now –
The sky is brightening –
And though the darkness drags its feet
The dawn is lightening.
I love the cresting luminance –
The incremental warm –
Such primavera promises
Hold amaranthine charm.
The latter days are lengthening –
Small things are waxing strong –
And though the earth is chilled with dusk
New advent won’t be long.
Before the world turns into dust
The Lord will come again –
The crystal seas will ripple praise
As Angels shout, “Amen.”
