Summer Song
"For the Solstice"

Oh, Great Sun,
With burning power and flashing fire,
You shine your light to all within your sight.

With drive that sends our trees
To leaf and life for all who breathe --
You shine your light to all within your sight.

We spin our dance and move by orb --
From birth to death to birth again --
You shine your light to all within your sight.

Your gaze, it warms and comforts,
Heals and lucidates by ray --
You shine your light to all within your sight.

With gratitude beyond my words,
I sing my song of praise and prayer --
And shine my heart of love your way,
As you, Great Sun,
You shine your light to all within your sight.

Great thanks! Great thanks! Great thanks!
