Summer Solstice

 

The new moon shining

Through the clouds

Like the sun winking

Through a slipless dress

Whisked in summer

 Without any fanfare,

Is the stillness a sign

Of something stealthy

Sneaking in on the

Coming horizon,

Is that why the cedars

And evergreen boughs

Are drooping like

Mushroom caps and

The top tips of the trees

Are curled like

Monks in meditation.
