Solstice
By ellyb39
30 June 2006

Whispering tingling rising sun

Waking ancient stones

Calling long forgotten songs

Struck me as I stood waiting

For the crawling orange tide

To slide down the hill


Waiting for the first rays

Of a standing still sun

To reach the sea, and wake the waves

Silently lifting each one

Throwing cold fire light

Onto the beach slithering off each pebble



A creak in the land a crack in the sky

Jagged time cataracts lingering still

Solstice morning first of its kind

I lifted up my hands to the new day, year life

All alone on the cold shoreline

World lives on and so do I.

Great topic. Lines like 'Throwing cold fire light, Onto the beach slithering off each pebble' are superb. Can see and 'feel' the scene.
Beautiful imagery

I really liked this poem. From the first line, it just drew me in. The visual extravanganza is excellent.  
 
Really well done 
 
best wishes
