Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #90 Crossroads … Summer Solstice (Troiku Hineri)
this short night –
from a shallow well I scoop

shallow pool
sun’s red reflection
blossoms
shallow pool
a flower stirs
the quiet breeze
sun’s red reflection
heatwaves rise above surface
shimmering
blossoms drift
shoreline flooded
dragonflies soaring
shallow pool
a dragonfly hovers
plastic lily pad
a flower stirs
its aroma into the night
sun sinks low
the quiet breeze
cools the air
crickets serenade
sun’s red reflection
deepens with the night
stars begin to shine
heatwaves rise above surface
sweltering dreams
flash and rumble
shimmering
fireflies decorate the lawn
stars descend
shoreline flooded
strands of moonlight
kiss your hair
dragonflies soaring
in the last embers of light
night descends
