Solstice Wednesday!

and green

This year the Summer solstice is on Wedesday about 7 in the evening here in Massachusetts.

  Mornings when she wakes sad
    heat up the pot of water
      to make gruel for school.
          feed me that love of
       the early morning concern
   before you send me to the machine
  to be grinded up working for the man.

   Now it's later in life.
 she doesn't think that way anymore.
  she still eats oatmeal
   but she heats the water
     in a microwave oven.        

  The Seven Main Aspects of
    God:
  Life
  Love
  Truth
  Spirit
  Principle
  Intelligence
  Soul
 according to Emmet Fox 
in his book Alter Your Life
He didn't make this up on his own.

I got nothing more

Lost in
Boston

 


  Imagination
     flies me to the
  faraway
     and takes me by
    my eager hand
     to teach me
  hard truth.

  Outside of time
     it holds me there
  and leads me astride
      those luminous ridgelines
    of the long ago
       of the right now
         of the other side
             of universes
         outside of time
     looking through
     the crystal vase
        that holds
      that thought
     hold that door,
   that elevator,
     that train,
   that sense of impending
    light ascending
       outside of time
 outside the dream
    outside the mind.

  It might take time 
      for the singing bird
        to hear the response
          of ages.
    All time
     comes to just go
     leaves to just arrive
     halts
       at a time
  unknown to readers of poems
     in the far future.

  where the mind roams,
       outside of time and thought
   there are those tomes
        of loving you told so lovingly
             that no body needs to read.
