Alaskan Summer
by Crow Tarot Lady
Age Group: Adult
[Midsummer]
In Alaska,
the mountains give birth to the sun
every morning
He rides the Sky victorious
over the Back of the Whale
and he Takes all day to do it.
For 23 hours and 15 minutes,
He conquered Darkness.
But Our Lady laughs
and calls him to her breast,
so like husband or child
He goes.
[Lughnassadh]
Here is a subtle shift.
He is still King
Victorious!
Yet he misses his partner so
He rushes toward Her
faster every day.
He doesn't care
that the wildflowers
are turning to berries.
The leaves soak up the sun,
but in spending so much time
in sunrise and sunset,
they copy the golds and reds
His blood sacrifice
He knows he must
give in to Darkness
But
Not Today.
Author's Notes: I've been in Alaska too long. It's beautiful here, but I can't wait to go home. I've spent all summer slaving away driving a motorcoach, and have seen more sunrises and sets in these last three months than in my entire lifetime. Sleep? What is that? The Lord is vicotrious in the Land of the Midnight Sun.
