Author’s Note: Hello everyone! It has been a while since I last uploaded new works on my WordPress. I recently graduated from CSU, Chico! In my last semester, I took ENGL 420W once again as a fun class for myself. This is one of the pieces I wrote for class. I don’t remember exactly what the prompt was or what we had to include. I just kinda went off on a whim and wrote about the Summer Solstice because it is very close to my birthday. I hope you all are doing well and enjoy!

The longest day of the year
that burns and illuminates the Earth.
The thread between reality and the spirit world
thins and stretches as people make
madness and emotions run high.
Gather the flowers and hope young love
will shine right with the right one.

When the Sun sets, the shadows come.
Whispers and apologies form.
It won’t last long, the Moon’s shift
clocks out soon. It wishes to stay
but Sun reins and takes the Moon’s soul.
