Midsummer Mysteries

 

One of the merry mysteries of midsummer

Is that midsummer isn’t midsummer at all

Maybe it was, back in the shadows of time                 

When Tolkien’s fairies blessed a happier world

 

We still light bonfires on Midsummer Eve

Making our summer vigil with good Saint John

While children dance among their fairy rings

Making this sad world better with their happy dreams

 

And finally

 

When the fading ashes greet the dawn

We carry our blessings to their little beds
