Another solar cycle shines its peak; The sun shines its brightest in the sky. The summer solstice build-up is released. Spring herbs and flowers start to go to seed. Storms have washed our world all bright. Another solar cycle shines its peak. Ripening strawberries scent the air so sweet. The plants peak tall with summer season’s might. The summer solstice build up is released. The butterflies as busy as the bees. We spray ourselves against mosquito bite. Another solar cycle shines its peak. Cicadas sing their love songs with their feet. Daylight savings gives us all more light. The summer solstice build up is released. Restless sultry nights in summer sheets. Christmas shopping late into the night. Another solar cycle shines its peak; The summer solstice build up is released. Wishing you all the light, love and abundance of this Summer Solstice. 🌞 Leanne Margare
