The Daily Post prompt today is Set For Solstice.
Summer begins
sky and water
same gentle
grey
still light
changes
months go by
I track the light
in the house
and yard
grateful to be
alive and trying
to see a little
more beauty
with poetry
each day
blessings
and hope
as the seasons change
in different ways . . .
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin 
I love the ambiguity of “still light”. I read “still” first as “nevertheless,” but of course it also could be an echo of “still water.” Interesting — I wonder what still light looks like?

Blessings and hope in the gentleness of it all. The change is so subtle we hardly notice. We have time to adjust.

Ellen, this poem has such a sense of gentle unfolding about it – just like the slow changing of the seasons. I love the bleeding hearts in your banner photo. I remember them growing in my grandmother’sgarden back in Minnesota.

I love to watch the shifting light and shadows as they change with the hours, the days, the months, the season. Beautiful poetic expression of such observation, Ellen! XO
