Sol’s Assurance
For the briefest moment in this shortest span
of daylight, the clouds part to reveal the sun,
as if to say, “Fear not. I am still here,
my light growing, the darkness receding
with each new day, each glance I pass your way.”

Beautiful (verse and image) – sun shining on central Texas this afternoon as well … hoping there’ll be no clouds interfering with a wee hours moon photo … but truly, the Sun deserves center stage on Solstice – you’ve given due credit!

Lovely words and image!
Yesterday I noticed that the sunset is actually a bit later than it was a couple of weeks ago–but perhaps sunrise is also later now.
