Summer Solstice (Poem)
Added 2025-06-21 03:30:28 +0000 UTCDay of light, day or warmth,
when the sun is at its zenith in the north—
let cooling winds come and stir the air,
for my fur is hot, and I pant in the heat.
I will rest from the heat of the day in the shade of the day,
and chase the fireflies through the forest at dusk.
Let us light bonfires in the scant dark of night,
and dance in their light, celebrating the summer,
because only in the dark will the air be cool,
and can a wolf truly live in these hot days,
with his tongue not hanging out of their muzzle,
and when the fire burns down,
then to the stars I shall howl with joy,
from the echoes of my soul.
