Summer Solstice of My Life
In the summer solstice
Of my young life
Everything was beautiful
And all was bright
My spirit was free
My mind filled with dreams
Of what I might become
And what I would be
If only I could flee
Life’s wretched winter
The causes my bones to ache
And my skin to shiver
And go back to those days
Of my summer solstice
When I was carefree,
Happy and precocious
Of my young life
Everything was beautiful
And all was bright
My spirit was free
My mind filled with dreams
Of what I might become
And what I would be
If only I could flee
Life’s wretched winter
The causes my bones to ache
And my skin to shiver
And go back to those days
Of my summer solstice
When I was carefree,
Happy and precocious

The memories this poem evokes...I can so relate to those winter aches and shivering skin. Bittersweet, those memories, knowing we can't go backward. Beautiful
