A Poem: —One Last Song of Summer— 

By

for Seamus Heaney

a green-grey turtle
pushes out
from the lee shore

rippling
and bubbling
the water

a toy boat
on an
enormous
hammering
sea

the mist is thick
but rising

dying in a
pall of light

the trees
dance

sparks of dandelion
flit about
the tall grass

silently moving
in the wind.

  • Cancer Solstice: Summer’s Big Picture

    People in this part of the world tend to think of summer as the "free and easy" season, thanks to the amenable weather and memories of childhood summers off. But in all honestly, how often have you over-scheduled and overextended yourself, racing to make the most of summer fun, only to find yourself exhausted and wondering when you’ll get to slow down and enjoy the season?
