As we enter into the Dark half of the year <br />Celebrating that fleeting moment <br />When night and day <br />Carry equal weight <br />Let us celebrate <br />Appreciate <br />The gifts of Summer <br />That will sustain us <br />Feed us <br />Keep us warm <br />As we face the long cold night <br />And remember as we gather <br />The last of Harvest <br />That inside each fruit, nut and head of grain <br />Lies the promise, the understanding <br />That the sun will come again <br />To awaken the seed <br />Which lies beneath the ground <br />Resting soundlyly <br />Until the sun regains the strength <br />To lift it up again<br /><br />Lynn Anne Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/balance-53/
