a poem for the longest day of the year

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published
On the longest day of the year,
we all sleep in late, letting
the languid luxury of limbs guide us
Upon rising, we braid our hair
with petals of promise,
let the sun turn them golden
On the longest day of the year,
it is time to dance
in all your glittering glory
We will gather there together
maiden, mother, crone,
and feast.
